Did you try that last tutorial about butting up the blocks while you continue to sew that row? Kind of neat and seems to be working for matching points in the center.

Same here....the more I look, the less some centers meet. When I resew, still don't meet.:roll: Think I'll call my quilt The Pain in the Pinwheels. :oops:

You know, something just occurred to me. I just looked at my avatar and remembered sewing those twisters together. Why is it I have done two of these seam matching things one after another? And you know what, they are both the first bias edged quilts I have ever done! Am I nuts?!?!?! Don't answer that :!: :? :!: :roll:

Time to share.
Y'all are motivating me to no end! Just knowing I need to get that pinwheel done today because I want to stay up with the group really keeps me going!
Here are my rather imperfect pinwheels I have been putting together day to day since the 10th.
They are just kind of randomly placed on the wall for now...I have no idea what their final purpose will be.
