I'm stuck and need help!

This morning I was looking at some videos on the web, specifically easy ways to construct pinwheels...  

So I had a look at this video on how to make fast and easy pinwheels.  Which was very easy to follow and so simple to do




But instead of ending up with your basic pinwheel, I wanted a completely different look, and searched the web again and found a tutorial for this diamond block.  

I used 3 purple, 3 green and 4 cream printed fabrics.  But once I started playing around with the placement of the blocks I came up with so many different settings that now I am completely stuck, and I don't know what to do.

I took pictures of the different block setting, and copied them next to each other to see what it will look like, and to get an idea of how they will fit and how the 'movement' of the blocks would be, but now I cant decide which looks best...



With this placement, I had to add quite a few blocks to see the effect.

I really need some input, and I realize its all about personal preference, but this time, I just don't know.........?

Happy quilting

Desperate Housewifes Quilt



I came across Desperate Housewifes Quilt from Quilt Jane's blog with some beautiful block designs, here are only a few examples:


Flower Power
Salt 'n Pepper
Beans

So far there are 48 blocks, and guest bloggers get a chance to add their own blocks too, have a look!  So much talent, so much to do, so little time.....

Happy quilting
