I hope we have the same number finishing!
If you can't do one a day at least try to average one a day!
:-D

I haven't started yet. Maybe I'll get some squares cut out so I'll be ready for tomorrow.
:-D

What type quilting will you all do/have done on pinwheels?
I feel your pain. I made 5 pinwheels last night. One = too small ??? can't figure it out. Thought all my squares were same size. I'm using the sew around method.

Four = SEWED THE LAST TWO HALVES WRONG!!!

Four = SEWED THE LAST TWO HALVES WRONG!!! Ripped 'em apart & left them on the ironing board. I'll try again tonight. This is why I like string/crazy quilts so much.

I spent more time spray starching & ironing than I did sewing. I can see that ONE pinwheel per day will just about fit my capabilities.

I brought a sewing machine up to the kitchen so I can sew and do other things. The ironing board and cutting mat are in a spare bedroom. So I am getting my exercise going back & forth between the two rooms. Was trying to figure how I could get the sewing machine in the little room. I have not been starching; but probably should be. Oh well :roll:

I didn't sign up yet, but I have squares cut and ready to go. I'm going to use the sew around the edge and cut method. :-)
