I am finally feeling not so overwhelmed and that means I am usually more productive. I have finished another quilt that has been in the block stage for months. That make me feel so good!
I started these blocks at the beginning of 2022 as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt. I had recently released my Chaser Block pattern (One of my Scrap Mixology patterns) and had the idea to add the flip corners to the block so a pinwheel appears where the block connects.
The little flip corners are not part of the pattern. I just constantly have ideas that I want to try.
Which is why I haven't released Module #5 yet....I am too busy going back and playing with the first four modules. There are just so many quilts to make!
I really enjoyed making these blocks every month. I just used whatever width of scrap I found in the right color. Not a whole lot of cutting was required!
I found a red and pink print that I really liked in my stash but it wasn't quite big enough. So I found a dark red piece to run down the back vertically. The swirl quilting really shows up on it.

Isn't that fun?! I love the brights with their b/w backgrounds. The pinwheels are a great design addition, too! You should definitely keep this one to show students!
I love that you chose the opposite on the color wheel for the flippy corners :)
Your palette is so happy and plays well together. Love the use of the black prints. What a cheerful finish!
That small change of turning the blocks to get a pinwheel adds so much movement to the quilt. Congratulations on a bright and fun quilt that might just be a perfect class sample! :)
It is a great scrap quilt, Cynthia.
It looks WoNDeRFuL...xox
Looks great, nice and bright and love the little pinwheels.
Perfect pattern to use up our strips and I love the flip corners.
You did real good- a very unique and colorful quilt! It is almost a spool quilt- just one more set of triangles on the top and bottom. It is what I thought it was when I first glanced at it.
Awesome! It is as unique as you are. I love it! Bravo! ;^)
A very bright and fun finish. RSC quilts always look so good, I guess it's that they have the full range of colors in them.
You are just a genius with those scraps! Congrats on the finish:)
This is a beautiful quilt. I love the ombré look in the blocks and the pinwheels added to the corners. This will be a great class sample.
What a fun one!
Glad you aren't as overwhelmed - I love seeing all the quilts you make!
That turned out great!
