Empty Spools - Week 31

When I read this morning's Civil War Quilts entry I commented to Norris, "This is an easy block - it won't take long to make." So he asked if I would like him to make it for me.

I wasn't sure I liked the block at 8 inches, so I made 4 of them at 4 inches. The traditional way to set them is to rotate every other spool, but I think it looks more like stacked spools this way -

And I got to use four of my blue fabrics in one block.
