Choose the block size that suits you best when you make Pinwheel in a Square — 8-inch or 12-inch. I designed the block to be used with the Springtime Mosaic Pinwheel block, but it looks good all by itself in a quilt, or sewn next to Snowball connectors that give your quilt a bit of extra visual movement. My colors are primarily light to medium shades that blend together just a bit, because I wanted a somewhat colorwashed appearance. You can change the look drastically by creating more contrast among the patches of your quilt blocks. Pinwheel in a Square is another good choice for kids quilts.
