    I'm so surprised that everyone voted for the same option... I wish I could see the things so clear! Many thanks, I really value your point of view

    Well, I set everything on pinwheels, and this is the result:

    I've always seen the pinwheels with white background, maybe it's the reason I wasn't sure about this layout. I like almost every block individually but, when I put them together, I am in doubt...

    And now: Do you prefer the option 1 (pinwheels alternating with square in square) or the option 4 (only pinwheels)?

    If I can't unsew, I think I will have to remove some blocks (the one in the middle of the bottom row, for example). Anyway, tomorrow I'll look at it with sunny light.

    Really like those pinwheels and you can't go wrong with this layout. Gorgeous for a baby quilt.

    I don't like all pinwheels, and I don't like all squares either. I love the first one with a pinwheel here and there. I see five of them in that layout. It makes you look around more to see what you can find. With the all-pinwheels layout, it may be more interesting if there where a square or five to break up the monotony.
    Love your colors, and your English is almost perfect. Congratulations on being bi-lingual. Wish more of us were.

    I like the second setting - it looks more modern to me. I don't mind all the pinwheels, though... I think a white sashing between them would be a good way to make it a bit bigger. What size are your HST's?

    I like layout #1 best but all of them are very nice.
    Fabric is like money, no matter how much you have it's never enough.

    I like the last layout. If you put a sashing between the & the same width as an inner border I think it would shine.

    Another questions:

    - There are some color combinations in the HST units that are not the best: is it too late for unsewing and redo? (They are all trimmed now...)
    - If I finally choose the option 1, how could I quilt it? Since I haven't got a quilting foot, I thought I would do straight lines with the walking foot, but there are 2 different designs (square in square and pinwheels), so I don't know how to do it... simply SITD?
    - I'm afraid the quilt will be a bit too small. I didn't plan to add borders, and I don't have more fabrics in the same style. Would you add a narrow sashing between the blocks? If yes... what colour? Solid white? I'm not sure I like it... has anyone more ideas?

    Thank you in advance!
    Yes first layout for baby quilt
