Welcome to my second ever Sew Along! Can you tell I'm a little bit excited ;)
The Whirligig Quilt is an older quilt of mine but I have have tweaked the pattern to include 3 different sizes.
The sew-along will run for 5 weeks and I am looking forward to seeing all of your quilts.
The three different sizes are a baby, throw and a queen. 
The two larger sizes can be made using fat quarters and the baby quilt using fat eights.
I'm planning a full scrappy version which I will sew along with you.
