Your pinwheel looks good-remember the more you practice the better/easier it gets.

Have you ridden by the block on your galloping horse? Kidding aside - I understand what your trying to show. Having made MANY pinwheels I really don't have an explanation for it - other than press those seams open and quit agonizing.

I've got a bunch done and am having a heck of a time with them. Figured I could do this. I had a bunch of 8 inch squared (from pot holders) and started out, plus cutting whites. They ended up 10 7/8 (some) and I have trimmed them all down to 10 1/2. Mine are a mess too. I'm so totally stumped, but moving ahead. I'm a fraud anyway. I sew, but I'm sure not a "quilter" like most of you are. I'm just to the point that I am going to keep going and probably hide it when I finish it. LOL

are you pressing or ironing them? ironing them pulls them out of shape a bit on the outside edges. Pressing the iron down on them helps keep the shape better. I think they are fine and surely close enough to just go for it.

the 2 on the right side or turned differently. Have all the blades turning the same way. Dont know how to say it differently to make sense.

I have to agree---methinks you're being too hard on yourself. ;)
