I started with layer cakes and ended up with 13" blocks. I also did not starch; but will from now on. May also use the walking foot.
Pretty fabric. The formula for 10 in fabric to start says 12.8 so 13 is acceptable. Just be sure they are ALL the same size to make it easier to put together.

Make with what you have until the new set comes in and then mix them up.

Once you start, it is so rewarding, you'll want to make more than one pinwheel a day!! Have fun.
