    What type quilting will you all do/have done on pinwheels?
    For me that's an easy question as all I can do is free motion meandering so that's what it will be. I love the look of stitching inside each triangle 1/4" but I can't sew a straight line! Shh, don't tell anybody!

    Well, I think it is time you get out the sewing machine and start machine quilting. Hand quilting is wonderful, but these things are meant to be a speedy alternative to HSTs. If I tried hand sewing them, they would be such a mess from over-handling they wouldn't be fit to assemble into a quilt.[/quote]

    I would if my machine and I got along :-( ..I have just a singer portable sewing machine..She is a good machine, she just has a bad operator :-P

    They are so cute. Debbie posted the picture on the first page. I don't know if she made them or just posted the picture. Someone here is going to try them I think!
    Can't wait to see what she comes up with.
    I did find the pattern and posted the link back many pages if you want it.

    I saw this quilt picture that was posted yesterday.
    It's a beautiful example of scrappy pinwheels!
