Windy Days-- Done!! and I Won Something!!

Here is the Windy Days Wall Hanging-- all done!

The pattern is called Windy Days because of the Pinwheel and Windmill blocks.

I fell in love with this pattern the second I saw it in a book (sorry, can't remember which one) from our local library. I immediately copied off the pattern and instructions, knowing that some day I would make this one!!

Well, I had the perfect opportunity lately. My bestest girl, Marla, had a birthday coming up. She had given me some great fabric for my birthday back in October so I chose to use some of it for this quilt to give to her.

I left the hanging rings off just in case she would want to use it as a lap quilt, sofa throw, or table topper.

I just wish I was better at points and matching up seams. Practice makes perfect, right? I sure hope so, because I am far from perfect!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARLA!!! I love you!!

And I recently won a giveaway at Sandi Andersen's blog!
