I designed the block to be used with the Springtime Mosaic Pinwheels quilt block, but you can use either of them alone. The colors I chose for the pinwheel quilt block are primarily light to medium shades that blend together just a bit, because I wanted a somewhat colorwashed appearance. You might prefer to create more contrast among the patches of your quilt blocks. Fabrics for One 8-inch Pinwheel Quilt BlockLight Background:
