Hi. The previously posted pinwheel project by brush&thimble was canceled so I am starting another here.
Swan Song did one on 9 patch blocks and it was so successful we will use (steal) her idea doing pinwheels. The idea is to make one pinwheel block a day for a certain length of time! That doesn't sound hard does it? There is no swapping involved, just make for your own self and come here to encourage others. This is for all quilting levels. I am only using fabric from my stash for a stash buster quilt but you don't have to do that. You make your pinwheels anyway you want. I am trying the method where you put blocks on top of each other, sew 1/4" around the outside edge and cut on each diagonal. (X) Then sew the block together and square up the block. You could also put two blocks together and draw a diagonal line and then sew 1/4" on both sides of the line and cut apart then square up the blocks and sew 4 together to make the block. 5" charm squares would be good. If we start on Feb 10th and end April 30th we should be able to make 78 blocks. If you need more blocks than that, take more time or occasionally make two a day. Any one want to join me in making pinwheels? :-D :-D |
i would like to try

I'm in! I've been wanting to do this.

that sounds fun. I don't know if I can keep up, but I'll try to. Maybe I'll "catch up" on my weeks on the weekends.
|
Think I'll try this one...if my sewing machine gets out of the shop in time...if not, I'll just have to 'catch up'!

I'd like to try, I've never made a pin wheel and don't have a pattern for one, you all sound way more experianced than I am, but I'd like to try, So do I find a pinwheel patten or will you be posting it. Sorry it's my first time joining in or quilting with someone.

I think this would be a lot of fun and doesn't seem like a ton of work at once. It'll be fun to share with everyone too! Count me in, I have 3 charm packages that should work with this.
