Windmill Pinwheel

I'm trying to add more free patterns to our website The Cotton Loft and I just finished up this adorable little baby quilt I call Windmill Pinwheel.



This quilt takes no time to make up and only uses five different fabrics. It's a nice size for a baby or toddler, 40 x 52.

I kept the quilting pretty simple, this is a baby quilt that is meant to be used so I don't see any point in doing any elaborate quilting here. I use Hobbs 80/20 batting so just a bit of diagonal quilting was needed to hold it together and set off the pinwheel blocks. I used a medium blue thread for the quilting but wished I had just gone with the plain white. But I don't think the baby will care what color the thread is, just so the quilt is soft and cuddly.

You can download this pattern for free off our website The Cotton Loft or if you like kits we are offering this blue/green colorway and also a pink/green colorway in slightly different fabrics.

Enjoy!
