sounds like your pressed too hard and stretched your fabric.. this is the only way I do pinwheels and love the idea.. she does warn not to iron but press the fabric and hold the steam.. no steam.. so sorry this has occured. Bet you want to cry..

I still stand by her tips.. quilted over a dozen pinwheel quilts for charity using her method.

PS I do make sure the squares are "squared up" before sewing eachone together.. maybe that is the tip too..

Best of luck to you.

Oh, and I have never starched fabric. Are you not ironing before you match together before sewing? Oh boy.. such a sad thing to happen..
