This book is extremely fun because it incorporates a wide variety of different techniques to create striking modern quilts!
The quilt from the book that I've created is a smaller version of the Pinwheel Plus quilt. Here's a picture of the original quilt:

I decided to make a version of this quilt with 16 blocks for a boy baby quilt with blue and grey fabrics from Lily and Will Revisited by Bunny Hill Designs.
I love the original quilt -- the grey pinwheels with the white background allow the colored plus signs to really pop -- so I wanted to keep my version similar but exchanged the pink for light blues. I used a 4x4 layout instead of a 6x6 layout, so my quilt top is approximately 40" square with the borders that I added.
I quilted this with simple loops and used the blue plaid fabric as the binding.
Please check out the other bloggers on the hop as well as this wonderful new book! My latest QAL just started and I'd love for you to join! Also sharing with NTT!
