Large started as 3 1/2" hst to make 6 1/2" pinwheel,used 6" circle template, penciled circle on back of pinwheel, cut interfacing 6 1/2" square, put on right side of pinwheel, sewed circle, trimmed around stitch line, cut an X in interfacing, flipped out, ironed.....same for small, using 2 1/2" hsts = 4 1/2" pinwheel - circles are 4"
