I had a charm pack of vintage Thimbleberries prints and older Thimbleberry fabric to use up - so decided to try my hand at pinwheels. I had seen the tutorial on this site making them by cutting 5" squares into quarters. I was concerned about all those bias edges - but starched well and didn't have any trouble. I didn't have enough of the border fabric for the back - but was able to find some from one of our wonderful QB members. :D

Love your pinwheel. I am not good with small pieces. I need practice, practice and more practice.

Your pinwheels look great, I made a quilt using the same technique too. At first I thought I wouldn't like those bias edges, but as you said, they worked out fine. Your Thimbleberries fabrics are so pretty, love those colors. You were so smart to use some solid neutral too, it makes your quilt sparkle. You did a beautiful job!
