It’s time to gather your fabric and supplies for the latest quilt block challenge: Windmills and Pinwheels. This challenge features a quilt designed by Toby Lischko of Gateway Quilts and Stuff.
Appliqued Quilt (left) and Pieced Quilt (right)
The finished quilt size for the large option is 86” x 86” and the small option is 58” x 58”
The Windmills and Pinwheels quilt is a fun blend of pieced points and curved applique. Made in a medallion style, you can either piece or applique a large center block and then build upon the center as you work your way through this eight- week challenge. For several of the blocks you will be given the choice of patterns- one a pieced block designed by Toby and one a slightly different pieced version designed by Ashley that incorporates applique. The applique design inspiration came from one of the main print fabrics, which features flowers. While we have provided applique templates for you to create the same designs, feel free to play around and create your own- we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Find the fabric requirements available for download below! And make sure to share your fabric choices in the Quilt Block Challenge Facebook Group – we can’t wait to see everyone’s work!
