Whirlygigs

Now that I have finished piecing Asteroids, my design wall is empty.  I have a UFO that is about 3/4 finished, so I decided that shall be next.  Up onto the wall it went, and I finished the remaining 8 blocks in record time.  Here it is:

I like this one!  It is full of colors and was easy to make.  I don't know what I will do with it once it's done, but that's not really important to me.  I just love making quilts!  I have to sew these 20 blocks together, and put on some kind of border--  first a small 1 or 2 inch black border to frame it, then something with the colors from these blocks.  I have a lot of good size pieces of each color, so I could get a little creative.  Maybe something like I made for Anna's Painted Lady.  I was also thinking of a "Delectable Mountains" type border, as that could repeat the angles of the whirlygigs.  I don't want it to be too big or flashy though.  Time will tell.  I'll keep you posted!
