I see so many creative posts by those who have the EQ7...I am really considering buying one. Your Patches and pinwheels gives me a great idea with my 2 1/2 inch blocks. I was going to make another scrappy Arkansas Crossroads but I like the pinwheel effect. Now I'll just have to figure out how to get a 9 1/2 inch (unfinished) pinwheel block to marry my 16 piece blocks. QuiltnNan, thanks for your post.
