It's a top!
Wonky Windmills
40 x 56
I started making these 8 inch (finished) blocks last year as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) project. I made blocks each month in the color of the month plus a gray background since I had quite a few gray bits and pieces to use up. The blocks are made with 4.5 x 5 inch rectangles so I used either 4.5 inch width or 5 inch width scraps that were long enough to make blocks each month.
I noticed the other day that I had quite a pile of blocks so decided to divide the blocks up into separate quilt piles. For this one I picked out novelties plus a few stripes and polka dots.
I have three other piles for quilts now but each pile needs a few more blocks - florals, geometrics and misc and a pink and black one. The florals will probably end up adult sized but the others child sized.
And sew on...

Celebrate! (my word of the year)
August 5 - I was working outside and a teeny tiny orange butterfly stayed with me on my red shorts for about 1/2 hour. I tried to take a photo so I could figure out what kind of butterfly it is but it's not a very good one so not sure what my friend happens to be.
August 6 - I received a box of scraps from Kathy and one from Dawn! Two in one day. Wow! And I sure had fun sorting through the boxes. Sorting scraps has been what I've been doing in the evening after dinner. I put them in project piles or sort by strip width or color. And then I use them! I sew a little each day.

So much fun!!
Love your wonky windmill top! Such a fun quilt. I think the butterfly loved your red shorts.
I love your windmills, Cathy! That's a block I've never made. Do you piece the sections in strips and trim so they are wonky? I guess I need a tutorial, lol! How fun to have a butterfly come to hang out like that!
What a great idea - a Wonky Windmill, I love it! Your sweet little butterfly friend certainly hung around a while, it's always difficult trying to capture these little ones on camera, i love the colour!!
Love your quilt! Also love your little orange friend!
