Merry Christmas Corner May 2021

I saw one sort of like this on Connie Kressin's blog back in 2015 and still love it.  She had left over pinwheels and made a cute little topper (with tutorial) and then Carol from My Carolina Home made a Christmas version
In fact I better show you Carole's Christmas one, because it's very cute.  I think I will try this again later maybe



Here's some cutting instructions for using charm squares

The pinwheels turn out to be 5 1/2 inches unfinished

Sew the 5 1/2" squares into two blocks and then sew one setting triangle onto to block and then join altogether.  Quilt as desired and bind.  In my case I sewed the right sides together leaving an opening to turn right sides out and then did some straight line quilting. 

And here is my Walk in the Forest Quilt making some progress
I got this dark green anti pill fleece from JoAnn's

Got it all loaded on the machine (hurray, half the battle!) and started quilting with cinnamon rolls



made some good progress but then....


decided to make cinnamon rolls
They did turn out really good!

That's the cutest little topper! Your 'Walk in the Forest' quilt is so pretty! Christmas in May is very OK, I've just finished an Advent calendar. Cinnamon rolls look delicious.
