24. Quilt a Pinwheel Block with Spirals and Pebbling

We’re jumping right into our next Pinwheel Quilt Block, this time with Spirals and Pebbling:

This might look really intense and difficult, but I honestly made my block easier by changing two Pebbling areas into a different design. The denser areas are actually stitched with Underwater Rocks, a super fast, super fluid design that breaks all the rules!

Let’s see how it works in this video:

If you watched the video you’ll know our mantra for this week is Throw More Thread At It!

Pebbling is a beautiful design, but it requires slow, careful stitching to fit into a shape perfectly. I much prefer the faster, free feeling of stitching Underwater Rocks where you just throw more thread at it by circling around two to three times with sloppy, imperfect echoes / travel stitching.

Let’s go quilt,
