Originally posted by "SewTooMuch" post=153879Finished my back today while watching the Inauguration. Used my own hand dyes for the main section . Turned the quilt vertical rather than horizontal. Cut my strips 3 inches and then assembled them like a jelly roll race quilt. Thus the randomnous of the strips.

She did mention that it is really rough on the pinwheels when you are doing the applique because you need to turn the entire pieced top as you put the houses on the top
so you might want to take her advice and top edge stitch in the seam allowance so it does not pull apart at edge seams. I am thinking she will build the houses and
then put them on as a unit, but there will still be a lot turning the whole thing. HelenW

Missing oxygen,
If you oversize the pieced background, when it shrinks up a little, you can just trim it to the exact size needed, then the pinwheels can be put on after all the applique stitching and
they will fit, and the pinwheels won't get ruffed around as you do the applique stitching. There are lots of way to get the same end results in quilting. HelenW
