I consider this to be one of my first real art quilts. The Pinwheel is a traditional quilt block but if the colors are arranged differently instead of alternating with two fabrics, it doesn't look like a pinwheel. There are larger white and cream pinwheels in the background but their subtle.

For this quilt there is a quilting line that goes from one of the rainbow colors in the border to the same color on a pinwheel block. Every time those quilting lines cross, I added a clear bead; like a prism splitting the light into colors.

This photo was taken at a show with the sun shining through the quilt. The darker areas in the pinwheels are the seams. I think it looks like stained glass.
