I knew these fabrics wouldn't sit long. I love them too much. After much agonizing over what to do (I contemplated Small Plates, modern crosses and lots of others), I decided to try whirligigs!
They're fun so far and I love how they look all jumbled together. I have 12 blocks so far and need lots more! Here is a picture of some laid out when I had 10 finished:
Now the questions are:
1) Should they be all up against each other like this or should I add plain white squares in between each one?
2) Should they be straight across like this or set on point?
Decisions, decisions.
Oh and look:
My birthday was last month and I got a big girl sewing machine! Will I ever use half of those stitches? No. Do I love this machine and does it make me happy? Yes.

1. White in between, I think.
2. On point. I don't know why, but I always like things a little tilted.
I love the vintage vibe from the fabrics. So pretty.

In my humble opinion, I think you should do all whirligigs (there's enough white already) and definitely on point.

I say no more white. That will take away from those adorable prints.
For my DS prints I am contemplating a bow tie quilt. Haven't fully decided yet. :)
