Well, this is all new and not-quite-shiny-yet, isn’t it? I’m not sure whether I want to dive into playing with css and theme customisation, or if I should just bow to the inevitability that I’m not likely to keep up sort of any regular posting anyway, so the more sensible path would be to just…
Racing along here! The third block is called a Dutch Pinwheel. It has a lot of parts, but they’re all the same: half-square triangles. So the instructions are pretty short.
