OK Who is going to join me the end of January and make pinwheels?
I am stealing this idea from the 9 Patch Project, hope no one minds.
Just recently someone showed how to make pinwheels buy sewing around the four edges of a square and cutting diagonially twice = 4 triangle squares=ONE pinwheel block.
How about 3 months? Feb 1st - April 30th = 79 pinwheel blocks.
A GREAT use for all those charm packs to choose from.

This not a swap, they are your blocks so they can be any size you want:)
