mpeters1200...thanks for that suggestion. I've been trying to figure out how I could still hand quilt without doing every single triangle. I couldn't figure out anything I thought would look right. This might work!
Another question would be this...I used the Warm and Natural cotton batting from Joanns. I've never used a cotton batting before but thought that you had to make your quilting stitches closer to each other. If I only quilt around the (pinwheel) block, will it still be ok with that type batting?
If I could just get that part done, maybe I'd have the incentive then to go back and quilt a bit more in it, but right now the job just seems overwhelming!
