    This is actually a totally neat quilt - I think you're on to something with your new pattern. Maybe you should consider seeing if your local quilt shop would sell it for you?

    You just created a new pattern called Paddle Pinwheels! I never would have thought of elongating the pinwheels. Love the label! What a great mistake creatively achieved!

    Wow.....what a great quilt! I love it. Just think, if we didn't make mistakes, life could get very boring and we wouldn't have a wonderful new quilt pattern in todays world. And your label is amazing. Making quilt labels is one of my favorite things to make with my Designer SE.

    The mistake was that during cutting the original blocks I started cutting the recs from the bottom right up to the top left. Some I did from the left bottom to the right top. They do not match if cut wrongly. They all have to be cut in the same direction. Hope this makes sense?
    Thanks for all your comments, they are much appreciated.
