This is made from a couple of charm packs of "A Breath of Avignon", a yard of the blue/white fleur de lis plus some white and red from the stash. It's about 46" x 55".I started out modeling it on the Schnibbles pattern "Dulcinea" but after I had made the windmill blocks I decided the colors were too busy to put the blocks side by side. The small red spinner blocks were just the ticket to separate them and add another design element.
What's next? A blue and yellow basket quilt, probably. And a lot of binding! I have a backlog again.

What a gorgeous quilt. Love your fabric choice. Very nice!
I like this. I'm making two pinwheel donation quilts from a Moda Bake shop pattern.
I know what you are saying about credit & the potential historic signifcance of the Porject Linus quilts, but I have to think about the child who will get the quilt & the state of that child to "need" one. They don't also need the label of charity added... Also PL would have to "police" what was added to the quilt as well. Some well intending people may add quotes, etc. that could be offensive to others. So in the end, no labels is the easiest option...
I have never done charity quilts...wait thats not true...I have made a few small things for auctioning off at fund raisers.
I don't think I put my name on the back. I just handed them over.
The rebel in me wonders...can you put your name and year on the inside seam some where? No one will see it untill it falls apart years down the road, by then someone might be thrilled to find a name. and why. project linus.
...very nice... the windmills & "Dulcinea" reference sound right up my LaMancha alley... :D
