Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I want to add something to the back of my all white quilt for color. I can't figure out how to figure how big to cut my squares for a pinwheel block that measures 9 inches. The all white on white is just boring. I tried to look it up but no luck. Thank you for the help.
I think you cut your squares at 5.5 inches to make 4.5 HST
Thank you I'll try that.Originally Posted by cjsews
are you planning on adding pinwheels all over the back?
Is it for a label?
put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.
If the front of your quilt is mostly white, be very careful adding color to the back since it might show thru the batting. To make a 9" pinwheel, you will need to make four 4.5" finished HST. Need two sets of 5.5" squares. You get two HST per square and you need 4 HST to make a pinwheel so half of 9" is 4.5" Remember, these are finished sizes.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
