New Year New OMG 4-Patch Project
Here it is, January 4th already and it is time to select a new One Monthly Goal (OMG) project for the new year. It seems like it snuck up on us very quickly having just wrapped up the December project and the holidays. It’s back to reality, too, this week as we are both back to work. Sue continues to work from home while I have been driving into the school office. Our 4-Patch Plus is going to be a focus for us.
4-Patch Prettiness
The pattern we chose is called Pinwheels Patches which called for some 30s reproduction fabrics. In the past, I haven’t been a massive fan of 30s fabrics but this pattern design has won me over. For the fabrics, we selected Darlene’s Favorites with lovely small prints in all of our favorite colors.
Most of the design is so simple, calling for three – 5″ squares along with one half-square-triangle portion of a pinwheel. Every block is the same with the placement of the pinwheel spoke changing position as needed.
4-Patch Pinwheels
We needed to select the focus fabrics for the pinwheels first, which we did just as soon as the fat-quarter bundle was unwrapped.
Our pinwheels will feature the same low-volume fabric with a blue, red, or yellow floral print.
4-Patch OMG Project
For this month, our January OMG Project will be to get this project to the quilt top stage. Thankfully, Patty at Elm Street Quilts provides a monthly linky party to link up a project at the beginning of each month. Then, if you complete the goal she has a second linky party at the end of the month to share your finish. Of course, she has wonderful sponsors although I like to play along for the finishing incentive.

Consider joining us each Tuesday for our hosted linky party called To-Do Tuesday. January 11th is the launch party for our SAHRR (Stay-At-Home Round-Robin). Check our sidebar or our Linky Parties page on our website for more quilting fun. Like/follow us on our Facebook page to share photos of what you’re working on. We would love to see them!
Oh, that’s an enjoyable-looking project! The fabrics are perfect.
I love the fabric. So pretty
I’m generally not a fan of 30s repo fabrics but that stack is very pretty! A 4 patch pinwheel is a great pattern too!
I immediately loved this fabric. I am a big fan of 30’s fabric. All the best with the goal. Looks like we both have pinwheels in our January lives!
This is such a fun pattern. It will look great in all colors and will work beautifully for the rainbow scrap challenge!!!
Roseanne I’m also not a 30’s fan but this is one sweet bundle of fabric fun! I’m sure your quilt will be a beautiful finish at the end of the month; bright and cheery. 😉
Oh you will finish this with flying colors, glad to see you have an almost finish monthly goal. The stack of fabric is so pretty and I cant wait to see it finished.
Good luck on your OMG! I look forward to seeing this. I am not so much a 30’s girls either, but I always love them when I see them. Looking forward to seeing it done!
Well who knew, but I’ve been making 4-patches for the past oh, month-plus! Mine are from the triangles I cut off and save from binding strips. I’m like you on the not a lot of love for 30s repro prints, but this design IS looking pretty sweet! I haven’t written my post yet, know what I’m doing…last month’s! LOL
I’m generally not a fan of 30s fabric either, but I do like these fabrics and think your 4 patch pinwheel quilt will be just lovely. Have a great day, Mary.
I love those 30’s fabrics!! I have a BOM kit I need to get busy on as well! It’s only 2-3 years old?? I love pinwheels and look forward to your finish!
beautiful bundle of fabric!
I love the 30’s fabric perfect for your 4 patch pinwheel quilt!
Sweet little quilt! 🙂
I’m loving this! Can’t wait to see the top done!!!
It looks like you are well on your way! I love 30s. This is a perfect pattern for them.
