    I would much prefer larger pinwheels, but since I did this to use up charm packs from 1990s, mine are 41/2" unfinished fm. 4" sq.. I have some batiks, Debbie Mumm, Hoffman, watercolor and a few others. Here are my first 10.

    I like your look. I kinda wish I had chosen one fabric for the contrast, but since mine are the 10" layer cakes and I was limited in what fabric I could find to go with them, I just went with that. Figured it would take too much fabric to cut more 10" squares.

    Here are 3 that I have made so far. I'm sewing around 2- 5" blocks and cut diagonally from corner to corner. I found a way in youtube to sew the blocks together I find it easier.

    So I've been making my pretty little pinwheels, and the thing I like the best is that they get better with each one I sew. :)

    I love the pics of everyone's work...keep 'em coming!
