Wonky Windmills
It's a top!
40 x 56
I have been making blocks for a year or more. I have enough blocks for 4 tops. This one has mostly the blocks with geometric or tone on tone fabrics. I also was able to make enough blocks for a quilt with novelties, with florals and with black and pink blocks.
I made all blocks with gray backgrounds because I had quite a pile of gray scrap chunks to use. This was one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) projects so each month I looked through 4.5 or 5 inch scraps in the color of the month and cut two 4.5 x 5 inch rectangles of whatever I could to make blocks.
And sew on...

Last Autumn I sowed a couple of Classic Prairie seed mixes. I really wasn't expecting to see much in bloom for two or three years but I have been pleasantly surprised by all of the Rudbeckia blooms.
Do all the flowers look the same?
I had to research the difference between Black-eyed Susan, Brown-eyed Susan and Sweet Black-eyed Susans because all three are in the mix.
And sow on...

Very pretty quilt and pretty black eyed susans. I love these flowers and have some growing, but they don't do that good for me. I think it's our hot dry weather.
FUN flimsy! Love the flowers in your garden. I had no idea there were so many cultivars for Susan. :-)
Great quilt top and pretty flowers! This is a good project for RSC and a great way to use up your grey stash.
I love this one. So many fun prints in it. I love the green one smack in the middle of it all and the blue one, first block second row, and the green one, third block in the same row and the blue one, oh so many!! I'm missing my Rudbeckia this year. I thought they would grow anyway but no sign of them. It is such a happy flower to look at. Enjoy them for me! ;^)
Fabulous wonky windmills! Love the scrappy gray backgrounds. Rudbeckia are great no matter whether they are black-eyed, brown-eyed or sweet black-eyed or as my great grand says, “baby sunflowers”!
I love the windmill quilts. Rudbeckia of all types are my fav flower & not just because they have my name in their nickname! :)
This is a pretty one, Cathy! I love that you have enough of the windmill blocks to sort them into different categories and make four different quilts. I have always wondered if there was a difference between black-eyed Susans and brown-eyed. I thought maybe it was a regional thing! No matter what you call them, they're beautiful!
love it!! and I like how you make the blocks all scrappy like and bam!! then you have enough for 4 quilts - you are impressive!
