I really like the look, although I'm sure someone will have an idea for an improvement.

I also love pinwheels and after looking at a suggestion from someone about an easier way to make them, I am hooked for life. The center is actually a 3D pinwheel although it really looks a little flat there.

The last is a D9P which is a staple in my sewing. It is so quick and easy and looks much more difficult than it really is - if you pay attention. I saw another version I want to try sometime, but didn't have time this time.

I think the next square will be an Irish Chain and the last will be Flying Geese using my newfound folding method.

Your eyes are not deceiving you, they aren't all squared up at 12.5" but they will be.

Hope you think this is okay. I've never done a quilt quite like this before.
