Windmills on Selvages

I pieced this one back in February of this year. It is 60x72".

I pieced a bunch of selvage blocks and then decided they needed 'something'.  I used a diamond cutter from my AccuQuilt machine and cut out graphic pieces.

I left the ragged edges but sewed them down with a fancy stitch on my machine.

The piecing of the selvages was done in yellow thread...and the windmills were sewed down in yellow thread, so I quilted it with a dark yellow/gold thread. and the binding is pieces of striped fabrics that i had that have yellow in them...a yellow and white...a yellow and green...and a different yellow and white and a yellow, white and red. i love using up bits of fabrics that just seemed to be waiting for me to find a good use for them.

The back is a muslin. I used a Baptist Fan Quilt E-Z board. I didn't always get it lined up perfectly, but i'm ok with that.

Glide dark yellow/gold thread for the top; Bottom Line Off White for the bobbin.

This makes 7 quilts that got quilted in July....that makes me happy.
