I bought a charm pack earlier this year that had lots of stripes and black squares. I love pinwheels so I thought I would go crazy and make a pinwheel quilt with them.
OK, if you sew a bunch of narrow stripes together you get a dizzying effect lol. I thought about making it a zig zag quilt to cut back on the swirling effect but it didn't work out quite right. Then I thought maybe I should mix in some plain squares to offset the spinning but decided to just go for it. I will probably add a border once I find the right fabric or fabrics.
The way I see it is that not everyone likes the same thing in style and colors. I like to make a variety of quilts so hopefully if someone is looking for a quilt they can find something they like. I know that I am not a traditional quilter so I may as well embrace with style.

That certainly does have alot of movement....what a play with fabrics. Love it!
Hey--you have done it again--used the black with great colors--love the quilt---and remember--if you are dizzy in the future--you can not blame it on looking at this quilt too long!!!!!!!!!!!!
