I'm going to read this with interest. I'm taking a Jelly Roll quilting class at Craftsy. I just finished making a Chain Saw quilt. There was a great deal of fabric left over. The instructor gave us several suggestions on how to use the leftovers. The one I selected was making pin wheels. she said we would have enough pin wheels for a lap quilt. I do not need another lap quilt, so I thought about alternating the pin wheel blocks with a plain block of the background fabric. If I do not like that look, I'll just get more fabric to make additional pin wheels and use narrow sashing. Another idea I had was to set the blocks on point and use different patterned fabric for the plain blocks. I want at least a twin size quilt. I have made only half of my pin wheels. Hopefully, by the time I finish them, I'll have a great idea for my quilt.
