Now I am going to go to my sewing cave, like a mancave only much more fun, and use my die cutter, cut 30 squares and see what happens........maybe this is what I need to get out of the "funk" I seem to be in...something new to think about!!!!! thanks all.......
You need to add the borders before you start cutting or you won't have complete pinwheels on the edges. Your first cut is placed on the border/first square.
