joe'smom ~ Lovely blocks! The second one seems just a bit overpowering, but I think when you have all the other blocks completed, you will be able to arrange them so that the stronger ones are scattered throughout the quilt. I am doing the larger blocks, but I would have opted for the single pinwheel also. I want to make a mini block some day, so I may use this pattern to make it using the small pieces and only 1/4 of the block and see how it goes.
