Pinwheel is my second fractal project. I made four fractal patterns to sell, and this is one of them. I stitched "Galaxy" several years ago, and now in April 2006 I have completed "Pinwheel".

The colors are quite a contrast to "Galaxy", but the same sort of recursive design is present. In the case of "Pinwheel" there is an eleven fold symmetry, which you do not see every day.

I have a high resolution image of "Pinwheel" in the download section. I used it as my desktop image at work while I worked on this project.

The 'Virtual" design of Pinwheel, called Fractal06 is in the Virtual needlepoint section of this gallery. See too, my article about how I design Fractals. In my Virtual needlepoint article you will read about other fractals I have designed.
