I'm so in! I have 20 or so squares sewn but not cut, so this can be my motivation to get on it!

I think even I can do this. I have a box full of 5" squares sooooooooooooooooooo guess I'm set if you all think that is an ok size to use.

Nice to see all of you!
:-D

Here are the directions I plan to follow:

I am going to press and starch the blocks first because of the bias edges.

I'll look for something for other methods for you.

I would love to join! Pinwheels are a favorite of mine and I have a huge pile of 1930's fabs that would love to be in another quilt.

Here's the other way to make pinwheels I mentioned.
http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltbl...heel_quilt.htm
It does call for 4 7/8" blocks and I would use 5" blocks and trim them to 4 1/2" when done that step.

Anyone know of other ways? Post it here.
:-D

I'm in too. I make charity quilts and pinwheels always look great. Mine will be scrappy.
