So this is going to drive me nuts. I moved some around. Now what do you think? There's a couple I don't like together; we'll see if you guys agree.

I thought I would join this to finish my already begun pinwheel quilt Then while searching for more fabric to make 5" blocks, I discovered a whole stack of 4" charms. So I decided to start with them. Here is what I have done so far along with my sandwiched stack of squares yet to sew around. I also sure do like that method of sewing with the little joiner thread (about 3 pages back on 38-39?. It seems to be lots faster without so much pressing. I will do the rest that way and found that I can chain a lot of them as long as I remember to only cut apart every other one so I don't lose my sets. Plus, I am still looking through my scraps for more pieces to finish cutting more 5" squares so I can work on the bigger one, too. These will keep me busy until spring arrives.

Here's my first pinwheels. I have triangles left over from snowballs etc, so I made pinwheels out of those first. There's a bunch of teeny ones I haven't done yet. My quilt is going to be scrappy, if you couldn't tell!
