FO: Whirlygigs

The next quilt in the quilt parade is the largest. So big, it took two nights to bind, and two shifts by three separate snoopervisors.

But all that hardwork paid off.

You will recall that each one of those little chevrons was made as a Leader/Ender. I didn’t track when I started making them, but I’m pretty sure this was one of my longest L/E projects to date. There are 448 little chevrons in there – that’s 448 separate scraps of fabric, which all had to be snowballed on each end (that means 896 squares of background fabric for snowballing!)

All to create something absolutely wild and crazy

For the back, I used one of the clearance finds that I’ve had sticking around forever.

And that’s one of the best parts about a scrap quilt – you can get away with almost anything on the back!

Like most of the others, this one has gone to the shop. Don’t miss the chance to make it yours!

    That is the most spectacular leader/ender quilt that I have ever seen! The finished project looks like it involved much intricate piecing. What a beauty!
