Frenchfryqueen...thanks for the kudos. I remember doing a paperpieced block with that spiral sort of thing some time back but can't remember what project it was for or the origin of the pattern. Marcialee asked for white only and at first I was puzzled as to what to do with the stamp Santas; I woke up yesterday morning with that vision in my head and pieced it as you would log cabin, although to keep the spiral correct there is a different pattern to adding the strips than there is in log cabin.
