Inkspirational Challenge #332 - Designer's Choice - Pretty Quilt - LOVE Pinwheels Quilt (Concord and 9th)

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #332 - our first "official" challenge of 2025. We have a full slate of new challenges planned; hopefully you, our wonderful players, will be as excited and inspired by them as we are. 

For the next two weeks, Julia's Designer's Choice Challenge is: PRETTY QUILT. Who doesn't love to curl up under a cozy quilt, especially when we're enveloped in the chilliness of winter or just need a comforting cuddle? Perhaps you have a special handmade quilt that evokes fond memories of the person who made it for you. We invite you to take the concept of PRETTY QUILT and translate it into a card/project. 


One of my 'plans' this year is to shop my stash and, in trying to decide on how to approach this challenge, I re-discovered my Concord & 9th's Quilt Pinwheel cover plate + dies. I selected four styles of patterned papers from a pad in my stash and set about making my pinwheel quilt blocks. Fiddly work, but I'm happy with the results. Of course, I had some 'fabric' left over, so you may see another card (or two) down the road.


Please head over to the main blog to see my amazing team's Pretty Quilts. While you're there, check out Julia's link for card quilt tutorials on Youtube.

Looking forward to seeing you in the gallery!
