White and Bright UFO

I decided I needed a fresh project to look at-NO, I DID NOT START A NEW QUILT!
This is the White and Bright UFO from the list.  Yesterday they were still just half triangle squares.  They were from a charm block quilt along that I never finished.
So, I grabbed them up and sewed them into pinwheels for this project...
I grabbed this up the other day just for the quilt on the cover.  LOVE IT!
So, after I trim the pinwheels, I will get started on the bar sides.  My pinwheels are larger than the ones in this pattern so I will be figuring out my own measurements.  I have even thought about doing squares rather than bars-not sure yet. 


I picked up a set of trim up rulers (by Quilters Paradise)  yesterday and they are perfect-loving them- but now I need that spinning cutting mat so I don't have to walk around the table. 

But then I was asking myself-Is it really necessary to trim when this is what the waste is???
Now, progress on Orca bay is at a near stand still...
I just can't seem to get step 3 going.  I am thinking about doing squares and sewing on each side of the line rather than cutting these tiny triangles.  Maybe that will get me moving.  I have to go figure out the measurements for that now. 
I am dedicating this day to quilting and laundry so maybe I will make some progress. 
Only 6 more days, after today, and I have to go back to work :(

  1. What happy pinwheels! I hope you find some Orca Bay motivation. It will be nice to go back to school all caught up.

  3. Yes you totally have to take advantage of that time off!!! I am not sure about trimming that block either, it seems so minimal!
