I am making a 3d pinwheel quilt. Would it look better block to block, pink,yellow or white block between, white or yellow background for the pinwheels? Sorry for all the ?'s but I'm not too good at picking colors yet. You all have been great teachers! Thanks!

if you put a plain block between it will be a great spot for some fancy quilting.

I like the pinwheels how you have them with the pink background. If you decide to do that for the whole quilt, I would vote for white blocks in between. Let us know what you decide!

The floral fabric has some pink in it, just doesn't show up too well in pics.

I love them on the pink. And a wonderful white would be a great plain square in between them. That is going to be a wonderful quilt

It needs the extra white, I think, in alternate blocks.

Do you have enough fabric to make it all pinwheels? It may look a little busier than just plain block in between.

Could you do some pinwheels with pink and some with yellow for the background, and then alternate with white solids? I think it's going to look very pretty no matter what!
