I started with layer cakes and ended up with 13" blocks. I also did not starch; but will from now on. May also use the walking foot.
Most people try to keep the pinwheels in the same direction but it's not a requirement!
Pretty fabric. The formula for 10 in fabric to start says 12.8 so 13 is acceptable. Just be sure they are ALL the same size to make it easier to put together.
That sounds like a winning idea! I must dig out the 1/4" foot also.
I resewed one of the blocks so they all go right now. And I switched to the 1/4" foot with guide, gives me a more accurate seam. I am making a queen size, so I ordered another pack. It will probably be 7 blocks across x 8 or 9 long, then borders. We'll see.
