This is where I am so far. Trouble is.....where do I go now. They main piece is 45"x38". Do I stop here.....layer, quilt and bind? Or lengthen with pinwheels shown on picture? If I add the pinwheels, it will be set with the green fabric. Do I use these pinwheels, or make the center one like the other 2????

IMHO, the pinwheels do not add anything, but maybe even take away some of the feeling of the fractured parts.

ditto

Keep to the same look in anything else you do. Perhaps some snazzy simplistic borders that enhance what you already have.

I like the pinwheels with it. I'd make more, then decide. You can always use them for another project. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
