I not only like your colors together; but, I also like the combination of yellow fabrics you used. I like the different scale in those fabrics. I will look forward to your next post about this quilt. Great so far.

Default 6 Blocks completed.

Well have gotten 7 blocks put together, showing 6, there not sewn together yet. As you can see my pinwheels are not perfect but I pined them and did the best I could.

yellow and black always go together. with the black in the yellow it tones down the yellow and looks great

this will be a stunning quilt in these colors and that block pattern. it is a vintage block design & it is called 'windmill'. many antique & vintage quilts were made with blocks like this in just two colors.

i think they look great! placing edge to edge in the 'tileing' manner like you're showing is what makes vintage quilts look so wonderful to me. and from the looks of the quilt your blocks are laying on, you'll have wonderful open space for fun quilting motif. black is my fave color, nearly all my quilts are black based, except for quilts for my two grand treasures, and hand or machine quilting on black can be difficult. one small wall quilt i used a dark wine red thread to quilt and the friend i made it for is still pulling it down off the wall to share when her quilting group meets at her place.
