Welcome to D T Quilts!

This blog will chronicle my quilting experiences. I have been sewing since my grandmother taught me to as a child. I loved it even then. I began quilting in 2004 to make a quilt of my daughter's school uniforms. Check out the Lauren's Sacred Heart Quilt page. I fell in love with quilting and have not stopped since. I belong to several great quilt guilds. Happy Quilting!

Design Wall Monday


Pinwheels, pinwheels, pinwheels. I am working on a quilt for a friend's daughter as a wedding gift this May. The pattern has 120 pastel pinwheels! I am using Kaffe Fassett's pastel fabrics. The center is all pinwheels with a white border. The border has an appliqued green vine with leaves. The pattern is called Summer at Mom's and was a free insert in a brochure about McCall's Quilting magazine. I am setting goals: 20 pinwheels yesterday, 10 today, etc. Should be through the pinwheels by the end of this week. Then- put it together and add the borders. You could say I am in pinwheel heaven!

    How good that you have started so far in advance. I am usually a last minute quilter: not so good. Looks very nice.
