TGIFF - Prairie Points Pinwheel Pattern Release

Welcome back for another TGIFF party! I don't have a finished quilt to share this week, but I do have a finally-finished new pattern I can share 😊

A couple of years ago, I was a guest blogger on Amy Smart's Diary of a Quilter blog, and I shared the free pattern for a Prairie Points Pinwheel baby quilt. Ever since then, I've wanted to expand the pattern to include other sizes and get it put in my shop. Thanks to an abundance of time working on my computer last week, I can finally say it's done!

Prairie Points Pinwheel adds some 3D pizzaz by using prairie points for the pinwheels (did you figure that out??), which gives the quilt such a different look! Can't you see some toddler or child playing with those floppy pinwheels (or adult, let's be honest)?

In addition to the baby size I made, the pattern includes instructions to make a mini quilt and a throw quilt. I kind of want to make myself a throw size now. Not that I need another throw quilt, but you understand I'm sure.

If you've never made prairie points before, you might think they're complicated, but they're not at all. It only takes a couple of folds to get a prairie point ready to sew into your block. In fact, it's probably faster to make a pinwheel with prairie points than with HSTs!

Prairie Points Pinwheel uses fat eighths, or you can use fat quarters or scraps. Add yardage for the background and you're ready to start making some 3D pinwheels!

I had a bit of fun playing with other colour choices for a Prairie Points Pinwheel baby quilt. Rainbow would be fun.

Or maybe black, grey, and pink.

Or maybe an ombre look. Of course I tried the ombre look with blues!

You can get the Prairie Points Pinwheel pattern in my shop! Will you make the mini, baby, or throw size first?

That's my finally-finished project for this week. What's yours? Link it up below, then be sure to visit some of the other links to celebrate their finishes, too.
