I think compared to everyone else on this board..I am way behind. lol I will catch up now that I am done with my DIL log cabin quilt. I did complete 35 today, and got 41 more all sewed around the edges, and cut into 1/4's ready to be sewed into pinwheels. I also need 195 of these little buggers. lol Mine are made from charm sizes and will be completely scrappy.

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!!!

:thumbup: I love your block. I collect elephants (not the live ones), and if you don't mind I would love the pattern for your block. How do you have the time to do this with all your cleaning and sore arm (hope it is better). I would love to join in on this project. Are any of you doing the Star Block for the soliders? Thanks Brenda

I have all my blocks made and no Two are alike(I like scrappy quilts) and now just need to square them up and arrange them the way I want them. I haven't decided on what backing fabric I'll be using nor have a border fabric picked out yet either. I'll post some pics of all my pinwheels later tonight.
I really like everyone's pics of their pinwheels. We have some really eager beaver's that have them done already. Way to go!!

I've gotten about 60 done - but I split some off that are in the brown/blue/green range. They are all scrappy. I plan on donating these to a Shriner's Hospital (DH is a Shriner) and thought this would be a good one for a teenage boy. Still have the rest but here is the top
