SORRY EVERYONE...I just can't get the pictures to work this evening........

Bill, pick the line that says 'html code', not the IMG one. I think it starts with 'src ...'. That should work.

Kate

It's beautiful and fun. I like the way you put it together too.

Nancy

THANK YOU SO MUCH.........:-).....I was just going to try to do the photos again....

That looks good!

Bill, I love it! You've really gotten me hooked on 1930's. Before I made your birthday block I had never used them - now I can't get enough. You are such an instigator!

Kate

I love your quilt Bill. I am also a big fan of 30's fabrics. I have been collecting FQs of them for years.
Linda

I love it! You done GOOD!

Very nice blocks and a beautiful quilt, Bill!

Teresa

Thanks everyone.......I love this quilt to - can't wait to have it completed...and the beauty of the quilt is all because of everyone in the swap....now I need to finish makig up the balance blocks..... :-)

Love it!! It's a perfect block pattern for '30s fabrics.

Bill....That's lovely. I have to get off my rear end and start doing something. Maybe join a group or something.
Lynn

Were you in two groups, Bill? Is that why you have so many blocks? The quilt top is gorgeous.

Bill, I notice that some of the pinwheels rotate one way and some the other way. Did you have your two groups do it differently or was it serendipity?

Kate

Beautiful - I noticed the different spinning directions also - I am curious too.
I love seeing what others picked for their BD blocks. So many good ideas and designs. Thanks for posting your pic - everyone did a terrific job!

It's a beautiful quilt, Bill. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Jeanne

HI everyone....

Thanks for checking in on my beautiful pinwheel blocks....

A. Different directions....
This is just the way that people did them - some
turned them around - but they makes the whole things
more whimsical - I just put them where the color
arrangment kind of spoke to me - no matter which way
the pinwheel was turning.......
This happened in both of the groups!

B. I was in 2 groups - and had asked for the same block
in both groups (I've done the same thing this year - a
different block this year than last - but the same
block for both of my groups.)
I did this because I don't usually get all the blocks
and I wanted to make sure that I had enough.

With 2 groups, I have enough for this quilt, a table
runner with 3 blocks - and still others to make into
pillows...

I love them!!!!

C. Jennifer, I wasn't sure what block to pick but I also
have to say that this block in the 1930 repros. came
out just like I had wanted...

D. Linda and Kate...Me as well..the 1930 repros. are like
candy - I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!

E. Kate, I am so sorry to be the origin of a new fabric
addiction... I to can't get enough of these delicious
fabrics..We should join a group....

So glad you all checked in!

Hugs,

Bill

You did well putting all the blocks together. Are you still going to do the piano border on it?
I made what I thought was a pretty 30's quilt for a baby once but it wasn't well received so I am reluctant to make them for people althought I do think they are pretty.
Can't wait to this finished as well as the other things you did with them. Nice job. TFS. Jayne

That was a good choice for the retro fabrics. I had to go back and check that they weren't all going the same way and it didn't bother me at all. If anything it adds interest.

Will you do the quilting? by hand or machine?

I actually like the pinwheels going in different directions - with these fabrics, it adds to the fun whimsical feel.

I absolutely adore that quilt! I came into quilting already addicted to depression era fabrics. My mother had scads of household stuff done in it. The real McCoy. She was very gentle on her linens and I have some aprons quilted in patchwork of depression fabric. Also when I married first, I married farm boy, whose mother sent him off to University (where I met him) with bed sheets made of feed sacks. (not to be cute, a necessity......she wasted nothing). I rememember seeing lots of 30s fabrics from my childhood (late forties). It was everywhere and it always makes me smile and gives me warm fuzzies.

I agree.....
the 1930 repros make me smile also - they just bring us a bit back to our childhood..I love them...
Now I'm also getting really attracted to the Civil War Repros......another addiction perhaps.. :-)

I love this quilt too. What is that pattern? Is it paper pieced?

Hi Fran,
The pinwheel is a block from Quilters Cache..it is pieced...not paper pieced.....
Bill

that is really beautiful Bill. Sorry mine was different to everyone elses!!
