Love your fabric choices and the block looks great. Okay, it may not as perfect as you want, but it still looks very nicely put together. Who is going to get that close and examine every point other than yourself? Give yourself a break and just enjoy the process, isn't that why most of us quilt? It will be a beautiful quilt and I am sure you will love it. Enjoy.

I see a little bitty bit of difference in the two top corners. I can't help because mine are coming out wonky too. Even tho I spray starch the material B/4 I cut my squares, press after each cut/seam/etc. I still get variations. From what I'm reading it seems that there's no such thing as a perfect pinwheel.

Sorry girl I do not see any mistakes like I do in mine. In fact they match up nicely. The colors are good too..

Ha ha ha! If that were mine I would call it perfect and go on. My pinwheels never look that good. Even with the close up, I'm not sure what problem you're referring to.

QM sorry I do not understand what your trying to explain to me.

I am by far not a perfectionist...but I would like to be close. ha ha ha

It is just everyones quilts on here look so awesome..and I would love mine to be the same way.
Guess what....you are really really close!! Call it good!! Otherwise you will make yourself nuts trying for perfect!!! Perfect is not part of any quilt that I know...even the ones that may "look perfect" are not!! Ease up on yourself. Practice makes "nearly perfect", and you'll get it closer and closer as you practice. Don't worry about it.

Looks fine to me. I think when it is all put together whatever you see won't be noticed. As one of my students one time said about her mistakes "it won't be noticed on a galloping horse". Like your colors too.

Your work looks nice to me. The points are about as close as they can be. Keep going.
