Is this project on? I'd like to join in. Mine will be controlled scrappy.

I'd join. I got a lot of 10" squares from connecting threads sale and would cut them to 5" to make blocks.

Anyone want to volunteer to host this?
I think we lost our leader!

I sent a PM to brushandthimble to see what's happening.

Ha! Perfect! I recently started a queen sized quilt using this method for pinwheels. I have a stack of 20 or so squares sewn around the edges, but I've not cut them and made any pinwheels yet. But I certainly can!

I'm using Whimsy by Fig Tree and Bella Solid Natural charm packs.

I will do this. Isn't that a great way to make pinwheels!! So easy!

I am stealing this idea from the 9 Patch Project, hope no one minds.

Just recently someone showed how to make pinwheels buy sewing around the four edges of a square and cutting diagonially twice = 4 triangle squares=ONE pinwheel block.

How about 3 months? Feb 1st - April 30th = 79 pinwheel blocks.

A GREAT use for all those charm packs to choose from.

I heard back from brush&thimble and she is unable to do this project. She was not working when she first posted about this and now she is working 2 jobs and no longer has time to visit the quilting board much.

I will be glad to take it on as long as I can count on all of you to help me be a cheer leader!

I'll post a new topic and tell you how it will work!

Yeah - I posted on the other topic you started.

How many pinwheels has everyone made since February?

I made all the pinwheels I wanted but I'm not done putting them together.
:oops:
I am putting WOW blocks between the pinwheels and had to take apart one row last night because I put one in backwards! Doesn't take much to discourage me but now I am back on tract to get them together!
We had over 100 people sign up but I'm sure we didn't get 100 finished quilts yet.
:-D

You can start on the last page number and go back and see all the tops that were posted.
