I made several test blocks, using a layer cake 10" squares. On the first two I didn't keep the small pieces in the right place a couple times. If they were right, there wouldn't have been bias on the edge in a couple places. Once I realized that, the next 2 blocks were better....except the center pinwheel is spinning the opposite direction (2 blocks on the right). I should have known better but somehow it slipped past me. Look at the 2 blue blocks, darks shouldn't be touching darks when the 2 blocks are next to each other. The 5th and 6th blocks went together really well.
I have one more block ready to sew and I'll have the pinwheel center matching the 2 that are wrong and those 3 can become a table runner.
Now I need to decide what fabric I will use to make a quilt with this block.

I had to look a couple of times to see how those blocks were sewn together. It is an easy block to construct but it looks like it would be much more difficult.
When all the blocks are made the two-darks-touching won't be noticed. Still looks tricky to me!
I'm glad you explained where the "mistake" was--as I would not have seen it;))) Looks like a challenging block to sew together...
72 this morning and just a pretty day. I was out early to do the weekly food shopping--felt like true Spring...;)))
I have yet to sew that binding on...maybe later on today.

Only you would attempt such a challenging block ~
I agree! This is beautiful! And I never noticed a problem until you pointed it out. Even then, I had to look closer to see it. Love the florals too!
Will be interesting to see what kind of fabric you choose - the test blocks are pretty and I like the idea of using them to make a table runner. Smart.
