Well, I had to put a hold on finishing UFOs to make a retirement gift for a friend in Iowa. Lucky thing I'd downloaded a free pattern (Summertime) from Michael Miller Fabrics (http://www.michaelmillerfabrics.com/) - it worked out beautifully in red/white/blue. I mailed it off on Thursday so it should arrive in Ames in plenty of time for folks to sign it during Paula's retirement party on June 3rd. I probably won't get it back until the end of June so depending on when we hold the July S&B, you might see it then.
I didn't follow the pattern exactly so my end result is about 6" larger in both dimensions. I ended up with a quilt that's 60"x74". 1st change - I trimmed my pinwheels to 10.5", rather than the component squares to 5", which meant my setting squares are larger as well. 2nd change - I added a white middle border for more signature space. This is a really fast quilt to make so if you need a twin-sized quilt in a hurry and you have a fun theme fabric, you might try this one.

Jenny -- you are amazing! I think that the print has pinwheels too - very cute.
