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.

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'm using 5" blocks but anyone can use any size they want.

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.

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.
