Sparkling Winkel Complete

 Remember this?  It's the toy that inspired the colors of the Sparkling Winkel Quilt.

 

 Here is a shot of the quilt that shows the binding off. Can I say it again? How much I really like the way it works.                         

I finished the quilt after sunset, so I couldn't take it outside for a beauty shot, although with 14" of snow it would have been lovely!

Twinkle Winkel!

This is the toy my granddaughter tossed in my direction when I was visiting earlier this year. I've just discovered it is called a Winkel.

This is the Winkel toy that my belongs to my friend Julie's grandson. I love that the colors are different!

The last time I was at Quilted Threads these lovelies hopped into my arms. All I have to do is add a bit more orange and lime green. I guess you can tell where THIS is going...

The Sparkling Winkel

I have three and a half vertical rows sewn together. I really like this. It's bright, fun and happy.

Where did "The Sparkling Winkel" come from? Well, I thought it looked like it was twinkling, so I was thinking Twinkle. My pal Julie suggested "Sparkle".  Turns out the toy is called "Winkel"

and the toy comes in different color combinations.  So I think "Sparkling Winkel" is the perfect name for this quilt.
