Whirligig--April Block

Whoops! It's May now, but here is the April block for you. I called it Whirligig because it reminded me of pinwheels spinning in the breeze. Although given the weather we've had so far this spring, a better image might be a pinwheel slowly melting in the rain.
It was a really fun block to piece! So much so that I got inspired to design and create a picnic blanket using one of our Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton strip packs and our Amy Butler laminated cotton. I love the huge variety of colors and how well the laminated backing coordinates with the border. It was fun and fast to make. It'll be in the shop as a sample for a while so you can check it out. (Although I really want to test it out as a picnic blanket...)
