Modern Mini Challenge - Modern Pinwheel

It's that time of year again for another Modern Mini Challenge.  This year I went even smaller and made m quilt just 10" by 10".  My entry is my Modern Pinwheel quilt.


I was given a bag of small scrap triangles by one of the ladies at my LQS from a project she recently completed.  They were all so pretty, coming form a Christmas line in the store.  


I made a bunch of them into half square triangles, adding in the touches of yellow to brighten it up.  Each square was just 1.75" before I put them into the pinwheel.


I then hand quilted, with pearl cotton, tracing the teal fabrics.  That part took the longest, but I am so very happy with the results.



I am linking up my Modern Pinwheel to the Modern Mini Challenge at Ellison Lane.  There are so many beautiful mini quilts entered already.
