I finally got the first block for my postage stamp quilt finished. This was a sample to see if the design I worked out on paper translated to something I wanted to make. I quite like it in spite of how much time it took.

There are 32 coloured four-patch blocks which translates to 128 one-and-a-half-inch squares. I’m trying not to repeat a fabric within those 128 squares so it will take some sorting out as I put the pieces together. No guarantees there won’t be repeats though.

The centre is made up of a pinwheel and an addition 8 two-patch squares. I’m not concerning myself as much with the fabric on those two-patches but I’m going to try to have the pinwheels similar in some way. This particular block has the same background fabric but I know there will be lots where the background and the wing of the pinwheel are the same.

This will be my leader and ender project for the while (long long while).
