Remember that these measurements are for the 4 square you get - NOT the finished pinwheel.
2" squares = 1" HST 2 1/2" = 1 1/2 3 1/2 " = 2" 4" - 2 1/2 5" = 3 1/2 6" = 4 7" = 4 1/2 8" = 5" 8 1/2 = 5 1/2 9" - 6 10" - 7 I did find it easier to trim all my corners after I pressed when I was making small size for a 3" finished pinwheel. |
