Pinwheel Quilt

When I was looking for baby quilt ideas for Baby Melon, I ran across a tutorial for this pinwheel quilt. I really loved it at the time but thought it would be too girly if Baby Melon turned out to be a boy , so I saved the tutorial for a later date. Our friends, Michelle and Shawn, are expecting their 3rd girl in November. I wanted to make them a quilt so I thought this would be the perfect time to use this quilt pattern. I think I like it so much because of how traditional it is and the small triangles around the pinwheels top it off for me. Pinwheel blocks are a lot of work to sew together, but the end product made the effort worth it. This quilt top took me most of today and a few hours of cutting fabric yesterday. I wasn't crazy about how it was turning out at first, but now that it's all together I think it turned out super cute. I have to get some backing and binding fabric to finish putting it together, but it shouldn't take long to finish off.
