Quilt Guild Paint Chip Summer Challenge - Center

This is the center of my paint chip challenge quilt. This piece measures 10" square (finished). I put 4 of the pinwheel blocks together--each block is 5" square (finished). This block placement results in a secondary design in the centre of the four blocks with the green and beige pieces reversed.

Some of my points don't quite match so I am thinking about putting a button in the center of each pinwheel.

The next step will be to add a narrow brick red border.

  2. great way to highlight your focus fabric without letting it dominate...

  3. I don't know that the points are worth worrying about- they don't show in the photo. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next.

  4. Dorothy Stapleton who is a great fun British quilter I admire always recommends buttons for dodgy points - if it's good enough for her.........

  6. I like it! It is neat how the pinwheels move your eye to see the other pinwheel forms.

    And good too, it needs some red. I know you had that in the back of your mind.

    I am very late getting around the ring and posting today--sorry I wasn't there to start your day.

  7. I think it looks really good Norma. It seems like the more triangle points that come together the harder it is for every one to be perfect. The button sounds like a great idea, but I don't think it looks bad at all, the way it is...*VBS*

  8. I too like buttons on quilts - but then I collect buttons.

    I think your pinwheels are fine. It will be fun to watch the progess as you add to this center.

  9. I also like a yoyo for a center although it looks okay as is to me.
