Block F13 - Tour de France

Since the new Tour de France edition has started this block is the right one. More than that they celebrate the 100th Tour anniversary. Now I run out of fabric, this was my last bit. I ordered some Liberty on Etsy and hope they will arrive this week. Probably I'll start joining the blocks with sashing, I already did one to see how it works and I was happy with the result.

Layout

For this Dear Jane I decided for a 11 x 11 blocks layout. Since I already have 56 blocks done and am almost halfway... and am still waiting for my new Liberty fabrics...I decided to compose a layout. I will probably do all the new blocks with the new fabrics and they will go around the finished ones.
What do you think about?

Block A1 - Pinwheel Gone Awry
