Default Chinook Winds, a pinwheel quilt

Last year about this time I made a six sample pinwheel blocks to try out the Missouri Quilt method using 2 squares, stitched around the edges and then cut diagonally to make 1/2 square triangles. I liked the method and made a pinwheels and patches quilt. I tossed the six samples into my "orphanage" box. I came across them last month and decided to do something with them. This is what I came up with. When we lived in the Denver area we always had Chinook Winds this time of year, high winds with warmer temperatures. We don't get those in the Grand Junction area so much, but this quilt made me think of them again.
