It seemed so easy

A quick patriotic holiday table topper. Such a simple design. Eight large 4-square blocks and eight large pinwheel blocks. Except the corner pinwheels are going in the wrong direction - I don't like the solid of the pinwheel sitting next to the solid of the 4-square. I didn't realize pinwheels could go two ways. Duh. And did you know that you have to take all four pieces apart to fix it?

So I've been doing a lot of this . . .
The good thing is that I could pick the pinwheel blocks whose points didn't meet up so nice but that I was too lazy to pull apart just for that. Now I have a reason to pull them apart!

And speaking of duh . . . I called my local quilt shop to talk to one of the owners and he wasn't in. I was told "he's in the field today". So I start thinking "Awesome. I wonder what cool quilt things a Quilt Shop owner gets to look at when they are "in the field"? An hour later, as I was digging up my garden, I think, duh, this is farm country, he's in the FIELD.
