I'm with you....I took my very first pinwheel when it was finished and it's pinned up in front of me.....those blades will go in the right direction if it kills me. Also if when I go to sew, I don't feel the two seams nesting, I know I once again picked them up wrong.

I hesitated saying anything, because it is hard to know sometimes what the final goal is. Keep playing with them and you will find a design you like.

I thought of how many HSTs in a pile of pinwheels & spent 30 seconds considering a diff block.Nah....will stay with PWs.Ever notice it seems the "simple"? blocks are more of a pain....or maybe it's just me.I need to try more diff ways of making these as I'm not happy with the lumpy center bump.

Hi Marcia photos of the block. Help needed i am not sure of the placements whether to mix or just do rows of the same color! Any suggestion would be very much appreciated :)

Your blocks look nice.Haven't looked at mine together yet....so have no advice.

As with mine, just keep trying different ways till you find one you like. Mine are still on the bedroom floor so I can look at them today in brighter light. Take pictures each time. I find I see things better through the cameras eye.

Thank you sewing the square was fun placing the colors is another story :(

I knew I should not of picked up needle and thread yesterday..Was not in the "right frame of mind to sew" and sure enough..I ended up mutilating one square of my pinwheels :cry:

My hubby and I like the 1st scrappy one more, it shows the secondary block better; also, it is not as obvious as the rows of one color that some of the blocks have the main color against the main color, losing the pinwheel, instead of against the background color. Just my 2cents worth. Thanks for posting the pics.
