Pinwheels!

[Magicquilts]

Many thanks to Melissa, who helped me get this far!

I kind of set up a design wall, and just slapped the pinwheels on the batting, and while I have a bunch of moving around to do, and I might actually make a few more of the dark purple to make this complete. But I have had alot of fun with this project. But the picture isn't that great, but if you love pastels, this is great fabric.

Very pretty and I like how the dark ones make an x.

I kinda like your current placement, too!

I'm quite taken with the layout you have now, very, very pretty! Love that "X"!

Pretty! I've not attempted pinwheels yet, for some reason they intimidate me

Oh this looks so lovely!!! Very good placement in this girl's opinion!!

You can't go wrong with pinwheels, can you? They make such a cheery quilt.

I'd play around with dispersing the darker squares randomly around the quilt, just to see how it looks. It would give the quilt less of a strong focal point and keep your eye moving around the quilt. It's worth a try, even it you decide to go back to the very pretty X arrangement.

Thank you Cyndi! I appreciate the input. I am making a few more to add to the "border" of the quilt. I will post a picture when it's all completed. Going to try your advise and see what happens.

As for being scared to try this? Use some scraps and make a simple one or two. And just go for it. MSQC has a wonderful way to make them, it's pretty fast and easy. I used to be concerned as well. Now, after this project. I love them!
