That doesn't sound hard does it?

There is no swapping involved, just make for your own self and come here to encourage others. This is for all quilting levels.

I am only using fabric from my stash for a stash buster quilt but you don't have to do that.

You make your pinwheels anyway you want. I am trying the method where you put blocks on top of each other, sew 1/4" around the outside edge and cut on each diagonal. (X) Then sew the block together and square up the block.

You could also put two blocks together and draw a diagonal line and then sew 1/4" on both sides of the line and cut apart then square up the blocks and sew 4 together to make the block.
5" charm squares would be good.

If we start on Feb 10th and end April 30th we should be able to make 78 blocks. If you need more blocks than that, take more time or occasionally make two a day.

Any one want to join me in making pinwheels?

:-D :-D

Do have a pack or two of charm squares that I might use.
