Mamgus, I think I am having a really serious 'senior' on my own planet moment - not sure but when you say 11/2" 'square' add to the 2.5" square - do you mean 1.5" triangle??? or am I missing something sorry!! :?

Izy, I'll bet it was a square when she sewed it on (cause they're easier to fit) then when you sew on the diaginal and cut off the excess you have a tiny triangle. (us seniors gotta stick together)

Hey there! That's really COOL! I'd love to make that in baby pastel colors or a crib quilt.
I have always been wanting to make a crib quilt!
But, I can't figure our how you made those squares with that teeny little corner on them.
Did you cut a 1 1/5 inch square and line it up on the corner and sew it on and fold it over like you sort of do with flying geese?
My new motto, when it doubt, paper piece.

HEre's how it would look: take a small square and line it up on a bigger square, sides even with the larger square's side. Sew diagonally across the smaller square. Snip and toss the tiny triangle piece that you don't need. Press and you're on your way to doing the pinwheel puzzle!!

My sister LOVES paper piecing and I love rotary cutting and using the method I just described above.
This pattern would be absolutely stunning for a baby quilt! But I'd go with a bigger pinwheel size. Keeping that many pin wheels straight would boggle me!
