Maybe give the pinwheel another thought. Why, you ask?! Because I justfinished a double pinwheel using Eleanor Burns' pattern and a jelly roll of bright batiks, and it is SO easy! No bias edges, it's done with strip piecing! And did I mention it is easy? It's kind of magical, actually, how it comes together.
Sorry, I can't post a picture, because it's at my friend's house. She's making the label for it.
