All my pinwheel blocks are done and ready to be sewn into rows. Once the borders are on, this will be a double size quilt. I am very pleased with how they turned out and next to 9-patch blocks, pinwheel blocks are becoming my next favourite block to make.
There is left over fabric from these blocks and I have a plan for them very soon; but I will have to wait until we are settled into our new home. Only a bit over a week to go for the big moving day.
Last weekend, Debra and I went to a quilt show in Port Perry, Ontario and we took the back roads to get there. In the middle of nowhere was this tree with all of these shoes that were nailed to the tree trunk.

Another tree just beside it has a few pairs of shoes nailed to it. The start of another shoe tree. Debra spotted the shoes and we had to turn around and go back to take a good look and photos had to be taken. We would love to know the significance of the shoes and the tree. A shoe tree .... in the middle of nowhere. Go figure!
Have a great day!

Pinwheels are fun! How odd....a shoe tree. Did you know there is a bra fence on the South Island of New Zealand?
Love the pinwheel quilt - a traditional cozy look - nice job. Now that is just too funny about the shoe tree, wonder how that got started.
Pinwheels are one of my favourite blocks. I love your quilt! Now the shoes are just peculiar...
I think pinwheels may be my favorite block. And I love seeing them set like this. How big are the blocks? Funny about the shoes...
Lovely pin wheel quilt, looks great!
