Your original post asked if you could make a pinwheel quilt without doing any top stitching. I'm not sure what you meant by that, because the tute doesn't reference top stitching, at least not in the instructions on the 1st page. It shows how to make the pinwheel blocks. You sew those blocks together, just as you would any other quilt blocks (right sides together, sew a 1/4 inch seam) to create the quilt top, then create the quilt sandwich, then quilt it however you want. You could SID or FMQ or hand quilt. The only difference I can see in this quilt and others is that you don't quilt through the pinwheels, because that would keep them from being 3-D. You should be able to do this with any sewing machine. The example in the tute happens to be using a longarm, but that's not necessary to the construction method.

Thanks for bringing the tute to my attention. I really like those pinwheels.
