7.  Pinwheels. 3 of 6 pinwheels done. That is 12 blocks done as it takes 4 blocks to make 1 pinwheel.  Blocks are 24". Not sure I like these, the background is too busy with the flowers to see the pinwheels properly. Needed more contrast.

And, that is all. I actually thought I would get these all pieced before today. hahahahahahahaha   I know, delusional. 

But they are fun....mostly. 

I do like a few more designs, but may have to finish these up and call it a day.
