Thanks for the tute, you make it look so easy. I have the template but not the time until after the holidays. Must finish up Christmas presents and two friends have birthdays right after Christmas almost done but not quite.

I love the quilt.....Now it makes me want to buy the die for the studio cutter I have.....I also have designs for my embroidery machine with that pattern.....Hmmm.....what should I do first. Plus. I have a huge plastic tub with 30's FQ's.....

Well written. I cut my blades from template plastic, original pattern taken from book with templates. Other than that I use the same method. Here's one I did back when i first started quilting. Much larger blades, therefore larger blocks.

Thanks for the kind words. This quilt came out of a real challenge for me. I had joined a FQ club at the LQS and then the Colorworks fabrics arrived. So I was the proud, very intimidated, owner of 20 FQs while I was a pastel, flowery fabric user. This kicked me out of the box. I shifted each blade one over when appliquing so they don't all immediately look like identical. I arranged them in the color wheel scheme within the block. There were 3 FQs which I didn't use. The cornerstones are again the same fabrics as in the wheels. Here's the wall hanging with more of the pinwheels. The quillow gives you a detail of the color arrangement. After all that I no longer feared the bright colors.

Thanks for the tute. looks so much easier than the rounded top, and I think it looks nicer too. Unfortunately I have an almost finished dresden plate quilt with rounded tops. I didn't make it, just completing the few plates that are missing. I found it at a thrift shop.
