Pinwheels are easy if you don't care how the centers match up! If you want the centers to match, they are not easy for me. I even have trouble getting the centers flat enough to quilt them well.

Love the quilt -- you did a great job on the pinwheels. Sorry you had a bad time -- I can sympathize about not figuring things our correctly. Good job!!

Years ago I started a Pinwheel when I was still really new to piecing and I thought it would be a little more festive thana plain 4P. Oh boy, was I surprised when every point was cut off and every center had so many bulky seams. A big disappointment for me then.

Your top turned out great. It is a very happy quilt and not 'too busy' to my eyes. I think it is great.

I used the method where you sew all around the outside first then cut them...Was wondering if the diagonal lines and sewing each side is better? Being a perfectionist about matching lines this probably wasn't the best project for me..LOL Been waiting 14 years on the wallpaper so if it gets done...you know who....Not a DIY kinda guy...but many good qualities.. so I'll keep him another 33 years...

As you can see from my avatar, been there done that! And when I got to the end I had one flying backward. You did a great job!

Anything with "Pinwheel" gets my attention! I think your quilt is FABULOUS! Doesn't look busy to me at all. I love the colors that you used and I would love to have a chair on my porch (or my sewing room!) covered in it! Great idea to use it for the cover of the porch swing. Please post a picture when you get it all put in place, I would love to see it!!!

I haven't tackled the pinwheel yet. Yours look great. I really like the colors. Sorry you had so many problems.

Wow! The colors are so close to the same...I love the black...wish I had thought to separate them that way...would have saved the big wad in the corners and it looks striking with the black contrast...I trimmed so much it looked like we had had a confetti fight. I like your fabric too...have to confess that I used the $4. twin sheets from Walmart..but it's for the porch and with 4 cats will get washed a lot...
