Lollie Wheels

This week I decided to start something new.  I saw a cute quilt in the background of Jen Kingwell's booth at Quilt Market and I thought about some of her fabrics that I had in my stash.  




This clever version of a Pin Wheel quilt is made by cutting Jen Kingwell's Lollies fabric in a particular manner. Jen offers a free pattern to make in on her Amitie Textiles website - it's called Lollie Wheels. Fortunately I had a few pieces of the first run of Lollies in my stash so I decided to give it a try.

I was very pleased with my first blocks so I kept going and now I'm on a roll.  




Maybe I'll be able to report back next week with even more progress.  The blocks are 8" finished so I'm aiming for 49 of them to make the quilt 56" x 56" as per the pattern.
