Thanks Daisyboo9!! I can't believe I didn't recognize that as I recently made a Dora the Explorer SawTooth for my granddaughter! lol!!!
I would never have thought of adding a pinwheel center to it!

And how neat of your sister to use fabric as wrapping paper!!

I really like it and the color and design reminds me of peppermint! (like candy canes)

I really like this quilt but wonder if you might pick a blue from your floral border/blocks instead of the "redwork". The reason I say this is that when you look at the center the blue pops out. Bringing it to the sides might balance it a bit better. Whatever you choose to do, the quilt will be gorgeous, have no fear!

The red & white toile is great. I've never bought any, but just might have to this year & it goes so well with the Christmas colored fabrics. Great job, keep up the good work.
