It's disconcerting to me. I find the two blocks sort of clash in the way the come together. It's that odd shaped path that the light spaces make. Maybe because the 9 patch is based on 9-patch grid and the pinwheel based on 4 patch grid.

I dunno. Guess I'm the oddball. We all make our our quilts-- you need to please yourself.
