Thanks Teen. Yes, after 30 years of quilting I do sewn my own way. Not particularly the way the pattern says to do it. I will read the thread from the beginning. I'm starting to see how one can get addicted to these patterns. I wouldn't recommend them to a novice quilter.
I found a good stack of 1/2 square triangles leftover from a large 1/2 square triangle quilt. They are just the right size for the pinwheel block.
I am a hand appliquer. Do a bit of machine applique. I don't know about the border. I will most likely redraw it. Those egg shaped flowers don't do much for the border. I wonder if I can find a pile of preassembled flowers to use.
