The quilt is made from two variations of two different quilt blocks, all placed on point. Twelve framed four patch blocks are sewn in two different color schemes, and mirror image pinwheels complete the blocks.
I wanted a subdued look, but if I were making the quilt again I might make only one version of the four patch blocks and would likely put pinwheels against a more contrasting fabric. Consider those options as you choose your own fabrics.
