I love the pinwheels! Bind it in that beautiful pink. A very nice quilt.

This is what I had in mind too when I first saw it. Then the pink border, or you could also find a print (even floral) that has the pink and yellow or pink, yellow and green in the fabric. The border doesn't need to be a solid color. You could make the quilt label for the back out of a pinwheel also. Very cute quilt, will fit perfectly for her. IMHO

So far, it's unanimous. Love the pinwheels and a pink binding. She'll love it (and so would I).

I went back and looked at the panel a couple of times -

The pinwheels appear to be the right color - but I think they detract from the carousel in the center. To me, they make the merry-go-round seem really small. Also - the other lines in the panel are curves and arcs - and the pinwheels are pointy.

They won't make the quilt look 'bad' - I just think something 'softer' would be better to try to make the top larger.

Yes to both the pinwheels & the pink binding. This quilt is going to be ADORABLE! Please post again when you get it done, OK?

Please keep the pinwheels, they look great on the panel.

Definitely pinwheels! You might consider doing 2 adjacent sides in one color combo and the other in a different combo. I'm drawn to that kind of finish on some quilts for kids. But definitely pinwheels, they really go with the carousel theme.
