Suggestions for using pinwheels?
 

Yesterday (Christmas day) our kids were not here, so I spent several hours in my sewing room turning a bunch of half-square triangles into pinwheels. They were too-big-to-throw-away trimmings from other quilt blocks. Now I have all these pinwheels that I want to turn into a simple quilt. Probably crib/throw size. I "googled" and found this layout using the background fabric for the sashing that I kind of like. I had already cut out the squares, so that made easy corner stones. Makes the pinwheels kind of pop. I haven't cut the sashing yet, just laid the blocks onto it. Any other ideas?

I think it is very pretty! I love pinwheels!

wow ! I love pinwheels. this looks like fun !!

I like it just the way you have it laid out. Go for it.

I love it - go for it

The layout you have is beautiful, just sew it together and finish it up.

LOL...I have been doing the same...so many small pieces - sewing them together and I have been making rice bags. I am getting tired of sewing them though...I have a ton cut out...I need to find a sewing group in town that would want them. Sad that they schools do not have quilting classes.

this is a cool pattern and you can adjust the square blocks to fit your pinwheels.

Pinwheels are one of my favorites!!!!!!! This looks great so far!

i love the layout
