Pinwheel Drive Wrap Up

Top assembled by Holly M, quilted by Pam M

It's been a little while for this one. The pinwheel drive was in March-April of 2020, at the very beginning of the pandemic! It seems like longer than a year and a half ago. I picked this design because I thought we could use something easy and happy.  

Most of the quilts from this drive were finished quite a while ago, but these 3 tops were still hanging around, looking at me from their shelf.  Pam rescued me and finished them up.

I loved this novelty backing to go with the top! Looks like summer.  I think I had enough for 3 or 4 quilts.

With these three done it finally wraps up the Pinwheel block drive and brings the total to 25 quilts. 

Speaking of block drives, Tammy posted again on her blog about the May/June drive. She is a trooper and approaching 20 quilts!

Sundae also helped with quilt assembly.


Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 800 so far! The September/October drive is running now, check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.

  6. I love that pinwheel pattern. I want to give it a try. I may make a yellow/blue/white quilt for you just to get myself started!
    Who knows what will come out the other side of my sewing machine?!

  7. My first comment is gone. I don't think I clicked on "publish" before I left. :( Well, I just wanted to say what a beautiful batch of quilts the March/April block drive produced and how happy I was to see so many states participating. I will be so excited when I see all the 50 states colored in some month. Thank you all for the support, encouragement & love you send to Kat's way as she unselfisly carries on with these gifts of love to hurting families. Hugs to all involved.
    Looks like Sundae is taking a needed break from the fast moving assembly line.
