Completed June Beach Double Pinsheel Squares

I have finished two different color schemes for my beach themed quilt in the double pinwheel pattern using the materials I had in the taped prototypes posted earlier. The blue one below was my first full sized block, measuring 12 inches completed using 1/4 inch seams following the pattern I posted earlier at site:

Then I did a green color scheme. See below, it is technically better than this first one. I like both color schemes and can't wait to see what you pick!!! My plan is to use tan/beige "sand" colors for the borders....but I might try a stainedglass approach and use black as a border to make it pop, not sure, we will see which way it goes as your squares/waves come "rolling" in!!!


I was going to try a third one combining the blues and greens, and if I like it I will post it too.

Have fun! For a fun summer project for my granddaughter and daughter I am going to help them do some piecing using all the scraps I have accumulated, maybe begin making some Christmas presents to put back for friends and family!!!! They could make a quilted bag, or lap throw, or wall hanging....things that don't require a full sized quilt effort. Happy Summer!!! We LOVE Summer!!




Thank you in advance!!! I am excited to see what the mail holds for me over the next few weeks!!
