    Just found out yesterday that grand baby #2 is going to be a boy! :-) So thinking of a quilt pattern already...and I love pinwheels and also like the Warm Wishes pattern. Just wondering...any one ever put pinwheels "inside" of the framed box of the Warm Wishes pattern? Do you think that would look nice? Love to hear your honest opinions if you think that would work. Thanks! Karen

    If I'm picturing correctly I think it would be so cute. Post pics when done.

    I think it's a very clever idea if you can get it sized right. Try a couple blocks and see.

    I think it would look great! Warm Wishes is one of my favorite patterns. It's quick and easy, and makes a really nice baby quilt. Adding the pinwheels is a really good idea.

    i did a quick pattern for that. i think it looks neat with the right colors. at first i had a light background, and that didn't look so nice.
