“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

Pinwheels top........FINISHED !

Yep, time to celebrate, .........it's all pieced, and the quilt-top is pretty big, 92" x 92"........but, really, not THAT BIG !










Here's what's left from a kit that is meant to make a top that measures 86" x 92".  There's about 20 inches, by width of fabric, of the white with red paint splatter,
6 inches, by width+ of the red plaid, and small pieces of each of the prints from making the pinwheels.

I would NOT recommend this fabric
 line(Martha's Vineyard Watercolors)
 to anyone as it has lost threads
 more than any that I have ever dealt with.
  I think it is a very loose thread count.......soft for hand-quilting, but very prone to fraying.  It is made by RJR.

I have gotten used to making smaller things for so long now, that I've forgotten what a bed-sized top was like.  And I always used to make quilts to fit my full-sized bed, not a queen.
Still and all, if Jodie doesn't have one of those wooden rails along the side of her bed, she may have to add one more border to hide the box spring. 
Anyway, I think it turned out well, and I know she'll be happy to have it back.  I imagine that this one will be quilted on Mary Ellen's long-arm quilting machine.

Now I need to see what I'll make the next apron out of, and then it's on to the baby quilt.
