Pinwheel Quilt Camp for Kids - A Kaleidoscope of Color
Join us for a fun week piecing this colorful pinwheel quilt top (size 46x60) and creating a one of a kind sack style quilt. This pattern, which is sure to become a treasured quilt, is taken from Donna Robertson’s book 3-Yard Quilt Favorites. The top requires just 3 yards of fabric and as you can see from the sample the brighter the better to show off your pinwheels.
