The Super Bowl mystery project is still on the design wall. I want to extend the quilt and change it from a square to a rectangle by adding borders on the top and bottom.
I made some pinwheel blocks to add as a border, and realized that the pinwheels in the quilt that are on the right spin the opposite way to the pinwheels on the left. So... half and half it is! Oh wait... that isn't exactly even. I'll fix one of those to make it even.
I'm thinking something like this. Three blocks on each side seems like a good balance. This will extend the quilt length by 8" to make it a rectangle. Perfect!

This is going to be a nice quilt. Having the pinwheels go in different directions adds interest and gives you options for very different layouts.
I really really like your layout idea. The center is such a striking way to use the HSTs, and with the pinwheels spinning opposite - great idea!
I love the way the different colors of gold make your quilt sparkle.
your super bowl mystery is looking super!
Nice sparkly fabrics. I hate when I turn them the wrong way, read my OPPS on the blog. Ripping was a needful thing to make it right!
A nice design. And I love the mix of light and dark fabrics. Really makes it glow!
Those golds are pretty!
