Pinwheel block
Given what is going on around the world, my question seems so ridiculous! Anyway, I thought I would ask it since I am housebound and working on a quilt for my brand new grand niece. Am I doing something wrong when I piece together the 4 1\4 inch half square triangles to form a 7 1\2 inch pinwheel block? The middle part of the four blocks is so bulky once sewn together! I don't know how to post a photo of my problem. But if you can imagine when I sew together the two half square triangle blocks, and then press the seams in opposite directions, when I sew the two halves together, the middle bit is fairly thick.
Thanks for any help you might offer.
