Okay, friends. I did two variations of the pinwheel block I did last night. I showed my DH and DD, DS and DIL, and had different reactions. I KNOW which one I will be doing 12 (well, at least 11) of, but I'm curious as to which block catches your eye more. No right or wrong answers, as I said, I already know which one I will do. Just very curious. Thanks, ahead of time, for your input.

Ducky, I love them both and it is too hard to choose. I think my eye goes to the one with the yello and blue flowered on the outside. The one on the right. But they are both beautiful and I will not be choosy if I get either one!

Ducky, I love your block...especially the one with the floral on the outside..blows me away! Makes me almost want to rethink not doing this swap. :lol:

I like them both Ducky but am particularly fond of the one on the left where the blue flowers form their own square. That's cool!

Well, which one will it be??????? I'd be proud to have either one!

Well, when I bought the fabric, I had it in my head that the floral would be the center square. But, with my usual flair, I accidentally sewed the patches in reverse, and didn't notice until I went to assemble the blocks. I found that I kind of like the accident and I believe that's what I will do with all the blocks.

I bought enough fabric to make 12 more, and I'm thinking of making both blocks again, but alternating them and separating them with sashing. Don't know yet. I still have TONS of stuff to do before I start on that. :roll:
