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.

WOW Thanx for the great timely tute. I want to do a lot of hand work while at the hospital with DH, and this is one I want to make a round table topper from. Now I can do it all by hand

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.

Beautiful, Agnes! I like those cornerstones, too! And your wheels remind me of a color wheel!!!! hmmmmmm that might an interesting quilt -- a color wheel!!!

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.
