STIDed in the center seams of the pinwheels for stability,
then stippled in the backgrounds of the pinwheel blocks,
moving the vanes of the pinwheel back in their respective squares to stipple "underneath" them as far as I could get.
I don't really think I'd stipple that far underneath them next time.
All the inner background stippling is one continuous line.

In the blue borders I did over-and-under loop-de-loops.

Between the blocks and in the outer pieced border I did orange peels. The orange peel patterns in the outer pieced border are one continuous line each.

Thanks for helping us with these. Your quilt is beautiful!

Now that sounds a little complicated especially for a beginner with a long arm. Thanks

Really it isn't. I was a beginner at the time, had just got the whole stippling light to dawn for me, and a start of a feel for the machine, and did this quilt.
In fact, this is waaay more doable than the whole panto thing: I was not that accurate enough to follow the lines.
So I went with freehand, where I could say "I planned it that way" - !!!

Thanks for showing us!

Great Tut and loved the added directions on your quilting methods. I've got this in my list of things I want to do.
Thanks for sharing. :-)

Brilliant! And thanks for the quilting details - I love your philosophy too on panto versus freehand. I don't have a long arm but I fmq on my Janome and look at LA work a lot for design inspiration and I always find I prefer freehand work to panto - it has more 'soul' somehow!

That is beautiful! I don't normally like pinwheels (I can never get the points right), but I can see these pinwheels in my future. :)

I'm going to use this for a baby quilt. thank you.

I love this quilt. What a great idea.

i cannot wait to try this---Thank you very much for sharing.

This is great - love it. Saw a reg. pinwheel easy don't know if it was here.

Take squares - right sides together.
Sew all around the squares
Cut in diagonal - then there will be 2 diag.
Cut those in half
Fold out press and waa laa. You have 4 pinwheels.

Thank you so much for this tute! Your pictures and descriptions are wonderful :D:D:D

tanks for such a great tut. love it and will try it soon

Had to try one after work today.....TADAAAA here's mine....Love this so much.....THANK YOU for showing us how to do this. :thumbup: :thumbup:

What a great idea for the next baby quilt. Thanks for the great info.

I tried a 'sample' and I used 4.5" squares which made up to measure a block that is 8.25". Turned out really cute! Now I want to make an entire quilt out of it.

That's really cute! I love how it looks like the folded paper pinwheels I made when I was a kid.

Thanks! I used this tute to make my August Doll Quilt Swap! =)

This is a beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing. Not sure I will ever make it, but it's beautiful to look at.

Just have to make this pattern, my Granddaughter's school colors. Orange and black. But bought those 2 colors with just a hint of design. Hope you don't mind that I'm using this pattern. :D

Like those colors together. Sounds like everyone is making one. :-)

Thank you for the tute! And love the quilt, it is so pretty and the quilting is awesome.

WOW! This looks like so much fun. I have bookmarked it and maybe tomorrow I can do a sample. Thank you for the tute. Jinnie

If that isn't absolutely darling and I seriously think I could even do that one. You used such pretty colors and prints. Thanks for the tute!

I love that!!! Thanks for the tute!!

Made a sample .
Can't wait to try making a small one for next years family reunion. They raffle off things to help out the expenses and this will be something a little cheaper (HA HA) than other ones I have donated.
The sample was made out of reverse colors in fabric. Turned out cute, but that was only scraps and no more in my stash

Wow I love the pinwheels great tutorial. that was a cutest quilt I love~~~ love it.

Do you have a pattern for your pinwheel quilt?

Allriight!
That's gah-juss! Hope everyone who makes this pattern will post a picture or two.

I do not have the pattern.

But looking at the picture of the quilt, it would be pretty easy to come up with the layout.

The quilt is beautiful! I would love to make one someday!

Oh thank you for that, that is so easy. I will be using this in the near future. God bless. Penny

I'm bookmarking this one. Thanks for the great pictures.

Great idea! I may be revamping something I'm working on right now as I love the dimensional look and it would definitely add to it. Easy steps on the tutorial, too. Thank you so much! Your quilt is just lovely!
This board rocks with new ideas. You are all the best!

Thanks for sharing the tutorial. I think I'll put some on my grandsons next quilt.

Thanks so much for sharing. You make it look so simple I may have to try it.

Just fantastic, thanks soooooo much, I love 3 dimensional quilts. Thanks again, love it. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

HOW ADORABLE!!! And FUN!!! Thanks!

Just made my first two squares, so easy. I am going to try the hammer method on the bulk in the center of the square. I''m told if you give it a good whack it will flatten out nicely.
Thanks so much for getting me sewing again.
Will be making my granddaughter a 3-D pinewheel quilt today.
When I find out how to send pictures, will send a pic of the finished quilt.
