but I love pinwheels and the inner box they make..
So can I sign up? or did someone take the roster away already?

Basically it is to try to make a pinwheel a day!
That's hard to do as once you start you don't want to quit!
There's no swapping, just for your own enjoyment.
A lot of us are working with the sew around the edges method but anyone is free to do which ever method they want.
Today is day 19 so we are 19 days ahead of you to the goal of 78!
Some people are making more or less depending on their target goal. I keep changing my total as I think of other layouts for my blocks!
:-D

I want to start this also, better late than never. I am trying to figure out a size square to start with. I'm going to use some of my smaller pieces of fabric. Will 5" or 6" be too small to easily sew back together?

I'm making mine out of homespun and muslin and when it's all put together I'll tea dye it.
I just made the smaller ones a second ago, as I'm having some problems with the homespun going wonky on me even though I starch it do death!. so I'm not sure if I'll use the 12" ones or the 7 1/2 inch ones yet..might just use both! :lol:
