I have been busy at my day job and haven't had much time for quilting. I did assemble my pinwheel blocks described in this post. I described how the 4 quadrants of the block did not line up. Luckily the blocks were a bit too big, and just needed trimming to 12.5 inches square. Hurrah!
The current top looks like this:
That is real feedsack fabric from the 1940's as borders. I was lucky to find 2 matching feedsacks on ebay. I now wish I had put a thin white inner border on - but too late now.
Final size: 57 by 81 inches, a throw size. The green secondary pattern looks great at this distance, but a close look shows that the green pattern pieces don't always match! It's time to take this top to the long arm quilter I frequent.
Now I have two days off from the day job. Other than finishing this top I have not been inspired to do anything. I will try to do some sewing, or cutting for a new project, tomorrow.

That is a beautiful quilt top! I’ve never seen that top with the secondary (green) pattern. That is fabulous!
What a great top!! it is so unique!! don't you just get annoyed when the day job gets in the way - ha ha!
Wow! That's really pretty - love the blocks and the extra feature
Turned our really lovely. No one (except a far too picky quilter) ever notices what doesn't match, they're too dazzled by all that beautiful work!
Beautiful! I have a soft spot for feedsack fabric! This quilt and design is beautiful!
What a lovely quilt! Hope you find some inspiration for the days off!
