P inwheel
Designed by Julie Hendricksen Crossing
Finished quilt size: 72" x 88"
Finished block Size: 8" x 8"
The inspiration for this quilt came from an antique quilt sewn
with plaids. I love shirtings so I started with those instead.
Combined with dark prints, they became the pinwheel blocks.
I first considered red for the squares, but I really love the
buttery gold I chose. This is another "vintage" quilt to add to
your collection!
