Here are two charm/cuts that I'll be making something out of it. I'm just getting to this project. Been working on a baby quilt for a coworker. I haven't squared them up yet either...once more of them are done I will see what the average is coming out to be then I shall chop away!!!

I square up my pinwheels. I have mine all made and just have to finish squaring them up and decide on my placement since they're all different(scrappy).

Made 7 more last night. One was wrong!!! I'm going to use 6 as the center of a baby quilt. Used 15 in another lap quilt. Still have 15 of the 9 1/2" blocks unused. Will post pictures later. I've made 37 blocks in all.

Yes, square them up. But first, I recommend pressing all seams open. Cuts off time and really comes out flat & nice. I learned from someone else on here, (can't remember who), but I always did the fan; decided to try the open seam method & boy! that is definately the only way I will do pinwheels, from now on. Try it, you'll like it. :lol:
