OK Who is going to join me the end of January and make pinwheels?

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.

Could you show this or explain in greater detail?

I will be using 5" charm squares and will have to make one up to determine the size.
This not a swap, they are your blocks so they can be any size you want:)

Off to make my calendar (Yes, I bought next years already) :lol:
