I kind of like #1 also.
It's going to be great no matter which layout you use.
Good idea Grann of 6. The pinwheels will make a great charity quilt and the more you use your long arm the better your quilts will be.
I'm not using sashing between my blocks but I am using a blank square between them just cause I like it!
Today is day 67! I sent the company off on a long bike ride then to Bathtub reef for most of the day so I have one row of pinwheels sewn together! I'll keep at it until they come back.
I'll get there.
:-D
