Hi Marcia - the block is made up of 4 - 2.5 inch pinwheel squares. Each completed block is 4.5 inches. That's not too small, but I'd like to try something even smaller. :) I know - sucker for punishment :), but I love trying them.

Jane - this "design wall" is the back of my DH's recliner. It was late and the only reasonable lighting was in the living room so stuck the blocks to that. :) You can get a matching "design wall" at any Sears & Roebuck's. :P

I was thinking it was a couch! So those squares are much smaller than I thought at first. They are really nice! My aunt LOVES red, white and black- she would love this.

Very pretty! Putting them together that way, alternating their placement, gives them movement! Very clever, and good use of what is handy at the moment! :lol:

Other than the red binding here is the finished top. I'm going to quilt in the red with black thread and on the black border with red thread. :)

So, if my calculations are correct, this finished at about 22 X 22. Great size!!!

I made a bowtie doll quilt when I first started quilting, and I think I should have made the pieces smaller.

I LOVE this and I think your quilting will be beautiful in it!!!!
