Pinwheel Puzzle

I was wonderin.....If I use the pinwheel block with all plaids and stripes what
other block would sit along side it to make the pattern less intense. I am
looking at probably putting the 'other' block chequer board style with the
pinwheel but am at a loss what to choose. All suggestions will be greatfully

Hullo Flossy
It does depend on how much 'work' you want to do in it!
However, how about a four-patch? That way, the wide ends of the
pinwheels would be coming up against one of the squares of the
four-patch. If you made the blades of the pinwheels plaids and stripes,
with plainish 'background' and used plaids and stripes in alternate
squares of the four-patch, but arranged it so that the plainish bits of
one were adjacent to the plaidy bits of the other, would that work for
you? (Or plaids to plaids?).
I wouldn't do too complicated a block as your alternate - I think you
want to have fairly equal complexity of blocks.

I love the alternate hour glass, it makes whatever next to it stand out and
the block definition disappears.
Want a sample? use Equilt, if you don't have it let me know and I will send
you one.
