Interlocking Pinwheels

About a month ago I receive an email from Cheryl wondering if I'd be interested in trading pattern reviews.  I jumped at the chance.  I just finished up her top and will show it once I've completely finished it and her pattern is available, but in the meantime here is the one she reviewed for me!

It's called Interlocking Pinwheels...all the triangles are part of a pinwheel, but the thing I find interesting about the design is that my brain can only pick out one color pinwheel at a time. The rest of the colors fade into the background.

Cheryl made this with three different fabrics from Puttin' on the Ritz for Moda, Lily and Will for Moda, and the white.  It is bound with Puttin' on the Ritz Pink Plaid.

If you're interested in the pattern, you can get it here.

Quilt 9: interlocking pinwheels

I finished Quilt 9! I was playing around with pinwheels and realize that if there were four of them they could interlock. It's kind of fun because my mind can only see a one or two color of pinwheels at a time.

The back...

To quilt it I made X's in the center of every pinwheel. It is very visible on the yellow, but it blends in with the other colors.

And I had one corner turn out great! It's the best one I've managed to do yet.
