Free Pinwheel Quilt Pattern
This quick quilt pattern was designed by Christina Hafner and Sandy Finnigan who graciously asked me to publish it online for everyone to use. These ladies have made them for cancer patients in their area.
Christina says..."I'm sure some charity quilters out there would find it useful ... this pattern cuts and sews up lickety-split fast and looks really really nice, even with scraps ... enjoy!"
Thanks Christina and Sandy!!
