    Sheri, I also make tiny pinwheel blocks. If I ever get sick of saving them, I'll give them to you!

    Hint on accurate size blocks...you have to sew just a scant on the outside of the drawn pencil line to make it fit right. If you stitch on the line or just to the inside, your blocks will end up smaller. Learned that from someone...don't remember when or where, but it works!

    Also, I press my squares before cutting them to be sure they smaller square measures up to the larger before I cut so I don't have to toss the whole thing. I am lazy, I do not write on my little squares, I pressed them in half then stitched to the outerside of the pressed line and worked well for me. That is just me. Learned that one off HGTV Simply Quilts years ago, Mary Sue Ellen Hopkins.

    Thanks rwquilts and QuilterMomma for the suggestions.

    I have eight that came out right after adjusting I will do eight more tomorrow and finish up by the weekend. I am thinking going slower and only doing a few each day will keep me calmer

    I can pretend my youngest daughter sees and make her a set.

    I think I'll join in. Since I have until the 15th of July to mail them, that should give me enough time to get them done. Will start on them this weekend. This sounds like so much fun.
