What is the trick to keeping all those layers from shifting while sewing? I did pin them but the centers of my squares are off kilter and the lower edges on some are sneaking out to show themselves. Is there a trick or some fail proof method to sewing these little buggers? The bottom fold shouldn't show should it? Thanks for any advice.
Our quilt shop also had a pattern for a 3D Pinwheel quilt. I have started it using 30's fabric. I guess I've been lucky because the ones I have done came out fine, I put it up some time ago and haven't gotten back to that quilt. Good luck. Cute pattern.
