I have been commissioned to make 2 baby quilts so I got to work on them this week.
For the first one I decided to go with the traditional pinwheel block.

Sorry I forgot to take photos of it before quilting which I usually like to do. The quilt measures 32" x 36" and my pinwheel blocks finished at 6.5". I used a thick 6oz polyester wadding. It is light weight but gives a nice puffiness to the less densely quilted areas.
This photo was taken under artificial light.
I decided to work little feathers in the plain cream parts and just an echo line on the feature fabric. It gives a very textured look.
Luckily the sun came out one morning and I was able to get these shots. Natural light is so much better.
This is the back of the quilt.
Enjoy your weekend.
Rhianon.
