Please don't tell me pinwheels are easy.....because if they are I'm turning in my seam ripper, going downstairs and start ripping off wallpaper...finished piecing the top for the porch swing to match the chairs I covered. Did the math for 12" squares...missed...so instead of 24 blocks had to have 54...my always supportive DH pointed out it really looks busy... told him too bad but am a little discouraged myself...On the positive side I did learn a lot of things along the way and understood more of the tips and suggestions I had read. Now for the border, batting, quilting and ties or Velcro...that part doesn't bother me but the pinwheels took their toll...LOL The flash of the camera lit up the yellow...it is not that bright by any means and blends on the value level with the others....Any helpful suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

Oh I love them. and yes they can be a pain but you did very well. Glad it's over, I know. I want to make some 3D pinwheels soon. I have a baby quilt I need to make soon and may try some on it.

I agree they are not easy. You did a great job. Just wonder how your are going to keep the neighbors off your porch swing once you have that on it!

Oooh, love your pinwheel quilt! It's one of my favorite quilt blocks, it seems like I end up with pinwheels in lots of my quilts, generally only a few mixed with other blocks. I find them easy to do and easy to look at. I especially like them in kids quilts, which I do for Project Linus.

3D pinwheels are so easy. There was a tutorial on here a few years ago and I followed it and made my DGD a beautiful baby quilt; of course she was 2 when I finished it because I procrastinate alot but at least its done and with a lable with all important info on it and a cat because she loves all animals.

You did a beautiful job. And this will be perfect for the porch. Nice spring colors that mimic a flower garden. The HST can be a tricky thing if you cut them all 1st and then try to sew them together as triangles. I like the line down the middle of a block and sewing on either sided, which means NO BIAS. AND I use sizing too. Let DH do the wallpaper... lol
