Love your smaller version, pinwheels and dragonflies, Wavewatcher. My quilt has dragonflies too......amazing how many of us included them in our quilts!

My favorite! Love your colours and your pinwheels certainly compliment the spinning blocks. :)

Haven't finished yet, but did manage to get the first yellow border on. I have the other borders stitched together & ready to attach if I make time for it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]505552[/ATTACH] This will be a large quilt and I'm not sure what will be it's destiny!

Because my blacks have more white in them than I think they should.... the spinning star effect is diminished....oh well.... another learning experience.... BUT...then again... I wanted to use all fabrics from stash...and in that I was successful :o

I'm loving all the quilts!! I sewed up two blocks and borders. So fun! I'm afraid it might be more busy than my daughters little 10x10 room can handle. This might it might not end up on her bed. Lol. Here is my first block. I had a hard hard time keeping things straight and ironing it.

i learned a lot too. Not enough to contrast with my green black border. It's hard to see the whirl there. Darn. [ATTACH=CONFIG]505556[/ATTACH]

Here are two blocks together. I'm going to keep playing with this tomorrow. My eyes are getting too tired tonight. [ATTACH=CONFIG]505564[/ATTACH]

Maybe it's because I've seen so many photos of the quilt and I'm getting used to the pattern, but they're just not looking that busy to me anymore. Looking great, everyone!

Looks like I need to make 4 or so more of the border blocks to make it fit. Guess I will figure that out tomorrow.
Dang! It still won't let me post a picture.

I agree with you Emma.

Thimblebug: I at almost the same place, have two of the pieced borders on and have pieced the same border for the back. Getting there.
Susan: I love your colors, somehow very retro 50's. Don't know how old your daughter is, and of course tastes differ but I could picture it going very well in a teenagers room. Great Job.

Well, I figured out how to tone mine down. Just take a B&W picture. :)
