This is one I pieced. It looks complicated, but is really quite simple. The piecing uses all rectangles, but a specialty ruler is used to trim blocks to create the small blocks.
Four blocks are sewn together to create the pinwheel effect.
I like the effect of the blocks staggered rather than lined up.

The blue pinwheel is obvious, but there is also a red one -
those you have to fill in the blanks to see a full one.
I used a red white and blue variegated thread to quilt connecting curves in the red, white, and blue areas, and a gold thread to quilt the wiggles in the gold areas.
I used a blue thread and a ruler to quilt in the sashings. the top picture is the horizontal sashing, and the bottom picture is the vertical sashing.
wiggly lines in the border also - spacing is based on the piecing in the blocks
the backing is a mottled gold - the same fabric seen above for the binding
