Watterstide. That sound like fun. Thanks for explaining. After my next bee, I'll try to do a photo of all the table runners that resulted from our two bee sessions. I made one charm pack table runner and one with the 10" blocks. The charm pack size is made of batiks and the other of Auntie Grace. They look so different but I love them both. One think I noticed about the batik: If you have big color sections in the uncut fabric, it can make a difference in how the pinwheel looks (mine looks like I have one wrong piece of fabric, but I decided that's how batiks go!)

it is hard to visualize how the colors will turn out,so close to each other..i tossed in a few white on white..and maybe should of used a few more.
yes, please share your table runners with us ! aunt grace or 30' prints are my favorites!

Thanks for asking I didn't know either. I've seen the quilt, but didn't realize it needed a special ruler. More money to be spent, huh?

Kim,
Can you tell us how many 5" charms you used (and the color layout) to achieve your "wreath" look?
Thanks!

How far in from the edge is the "X" marking on the 8" square? I love the little twister...and they're so much fun to make. I'd really like to tackle a larger quilt! Thanks so much!
