I've finished 30 so far. Using 15 along with some solid blocks to make a quilt for one of my daughter's dialysis patients. Then I'm going to use some more for a baby gift I just found out about. Was going to put them all into a king size quilt - guess I'll just have to make more.

I had a jelly roll, so I cut that up into scrappy lengths and used that for the border; will put a row in the backing also. Forgot to take a pic of the backing.
That's lovely! I can't remember if you were using 10" or 12" blocks for these but they seem to work well together.
Today is day 25!
Lots of time left to get lots more pinwheels made!
Keep it up!
:-D

Okay, I'm starting on another batch for a QFK. The colors aren't right, will have to post in daytime. The black coordinating fabric is airplanes. The big quilt is all pinned and ready to be quilted; just have to decide what I am going to do on it. Maybe tomorrow that will get started. How is everyone doing?

I forgot to say that I use the 1/2 sq triangle method for all. Use the rosette method for the flatter center. Then, on the last one I decided to use the pressing the seams all open method, and I'll be darn if they didn't all turn out perfect center match & very flat block! Thanks for the hint! I will always do pinwheels this way now!!!
Leftovers from the above original tablerunner (you see backing & binding will be same as inner border)

This one used the 1st pinwheel I made on the Viking I'm learning...not a great match; tablerunner(you see backing & binding will be blue)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]167697[/ATTACH]
Pinwheels are better, my own pattern to use what scraps I had (you see backing & binding will be tan)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]167698[/ATTACH]
Pinwheels even better (you see backing & binding undecided)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]167699[/ATTACH]
Then I made this tablerunner, it's the original pattern (you see backing & binding will be same as inner border)
