I’ve started laying out my scrappy pinwheels. I ended up making enough hst’s for 18 blocks instead of 9. So, I had to make 2 more for a 4x5 layout. [ATTACH=CONFIG]593124[/ATTACH]

love all the pictures!

We are having another snowstorm here - got 3" overnight and should get another 3" during the day. Guess we aren't going to have spring this year. This storm is tracking east and the worst should hit Iowa. I am so sick of white!

I may need to dig out some really bright colors to work with for a while.

Hmmmmm. I'm not liking my background fabric. Too much purple and it doesn't go as well with the other batiks as I thought it would. I'm not finished with the background squares so maybe I'll wait for another clue before making more. I wonder what it would look like if the background fabric was of different colors -- a different color for each block??

white pine, If anything, I would maybe try a different background, one with more contrast with the light, medium and dark. Wouldn't need to be a batik. You will want the contrast in the upcoming weeks.I love all your batiks.

OK. Thanks Judy. I'll keep on searching.

I have all of my scrappy pinwheels sewn together. I just started the backgrounds[ATTACH=CONFIG]593169[/ATTACH] with the darks. Here’s a sample. The darks all look black in the pix but they’re really dark greens and browns. Do you think the peach background works?

Yes, I think it's a great choice! Makes it all look so warm and cozy!
