It's a finish!
Wonky Windmills
56 x 72
I started making the blocks in 2023 as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) project. Each block is made with rectangles 4.5 x 5 inch - two each of the background and other fabric. Then they are stacked right side up, cut and shuffled and then sewn together.
In August 2024 I decided to see how many blocks I had and how many comfort quilts I could make from all the blocks I made from scraps up to that point. I divided blocks into four piles -- novelty, geometrics, florals and pink/black.
I quilted it on my DSM with swirls of gray.
I used up a lot of scrap chunks of gray for three backgrounds.
I bought a bolt of black and white crazy daisies to use as the backing for several quilts. This is quilt #3 and I have enough for another one with a little bit left over.
And sew on...

Love those colors together! This is such a cute quilt.
Just loving the pink & black, Cathy--perfect for this pattern...nice finish on this one...hugs, Julierose
That looks wonderful, well done.
What a great quilt! Very wonky!
The wonkiness of the blocks is so fun. And the colors are beautiful. Congratulations on another finish!
Your color choices took a simple block to a real show stopper. That is beautiful.
Beautiful quilt! Looks terrific in the sunshine.
The color combo in this quilt is so fun. Congrats on another finish.
You can’t go wrong with pink and gray. It’s a winner.
The pink/gray/black combination is beautiful, Cathy! Beautiful finish!
What a great idea, using one bolt for so many projects!
Awesome quilt, Cathy! I bought a bolt of tan fabric and my Cousin Kim bought a bolt of bright daisy fabric. We swapped 4 yards of each to give us both some finishing variety. Missouri Star sells bolts cheaply every now and then, and we keep our eyes peeled!
