that is amazing - one of my students is doing a harry potter quilt right now and she is doing pinwheels to represent the different house colors - I'm going to show her this faster way - thanks so much for sharing!!! :-)

those are fast, indeed. they only problem with that method is that you end up with bias edges on the outside of your block.

Absolutly....be sure to starch before cuttting and handle with kid gloves.

I just stumbled on this a short while ago, too. I was searching for an easy method for a friend of mine but next time I do pinwheels, I'll be doing it this way!

I've used this technique before, but I wish she'd been clearer on the dimensions...she started with 5" inch charms and ended up with what, a 5.5" or 6" block, depending on the foot? The seam allowance?

I keep meaning to play with this to figure out the sizing, but I haven't yet. I'd love to hear what others end up with!

Great. This makes it so easy.

Thanks for the link. I'll enjoy putting this tip to good use. It seems most of the quilts I make use HST's.
