Saturday & Sunday 'Irish' Sewing

Well some pressing, cutting, sewing, pressing, cutting...yada..yada..yada!

Using this simple clover print bright green and white fabric.

To get several piles of these.

To make three like this!
My Irish Pinwheel!;-)
Now to decide how to border it and bind.
I am thinking will add a white 1.5" or 2." strips around then I do not know.
May just bind no other border.
Will have to pull some stash fabrics to play with.
More green maybe... plaids maybe... bright colors maybe...yellows, blues.... siiigggh!
What would you do/use color wise?
I did not think beyond the cute pinwheel idea so no planning!
Just went with it, now to figure out the rest.
Do you do this too??
I just wanted a fresh new runner for St.Patrick's Day ...that is all!!!.;-)

  7. Yep, I do it too! You could just bind it with green or a border would look nice too. I guess it depends on how big you want it.

  8. that;s the fun of being creative--starting something--yet not knowing completely where it will end---sooo far it's looking good--and probably green--either border or binding will frame it nicely!!!! thats my 2 cents!! Hugs, Di

  9. I was going to suggest Orange but that might cause some conflict. Then again it may suggest Harmony. Ann :-)
