There was a little progress yesterday on the borders. The third border is the pinwheels and the fourth border is the striped fabric again. The two are sewn together and then the huge pinwheels are the corner blocks. I still have to cut the side striped pieces but I wasn't in the mood to turn on the iron yesterday. So....what I did yesterday was to sew on border 2 all around, border 3 on the sides, make the huge pinwheels and sew the complete section of 3 and 4 with pinwheels for the top edge.Here again is the Kaffe Fonthill quilt in the book Passionate Patchwork.
I have border 5 already sewn so all that will be left after that is the double row of pinwheels all the way around. I still need to make about 50 pinwheel blocks. My ambitious goal is to finish this top by the end of the month.

looks like a lot of small time consuming blocks that turned out beautifully! I luv the little triangles & pinwheels paired together
Your flowered border and KF's are really similar looking! This is really going to be a beautiful quilt, Wanda--so many many pieces--!!
64 here early this morning but temps rising fast--74 now with 70 DP--I guess this will be the coolest (!) day we will have for a while. hot and muggy is in our future through the weekend...

You mentioned “a little progress” but it makes a huge glorious difference ! I can see the hours you have put into fonthill and it is mind boggling. And you said maybe a July finish, you’re ‘Wandaful’ for sure.

So pretty! There is a lot to do in order to get the top done by the end of the month!
Great progress, those squares are a great choice after the paler ones.
