Quilt #39 :: AJ's Happy Pinwheels


Is there anything more cheerful than pinwheels and polka dots? I made this quilt for my cousin's little guy when he was going through a rough season. While I live too far away to give him a hug, I hoped that a quilt would give him tangible evidence of the love so many have for him.


I'm especially excited to share this quilt because it is the last throwback quilt post. I am now done sharing my quilts from 2014.  Unfortunately, I really dropped the ball in 2015 and have another year of quilts to share! Uff da!

For the front, I chose varied polka dot prints, even the background. For the back, I used a bird print because AJ loves birds and can recognize the birds around his house by their songs.


The border isn't really a polka dot pattern, more of a hollow polka dot pattern. For the binding, I used strips of all the pinwheel polka dot prints.


This label is one of my favorites. This is the only time I've bordered the label with fabric from the front. I need to do that more.


The best part of going back and writing about these older quilts is seeing my little guy being so little!


I believe this was the last year before we bought our fancy artificial tree.


My Christmas present that year was seeing this picture of AJ sleeping under his quilt.
