The 3rd block I did, the design was not centered when finished. Yes, I had it centered before starting. So out came the stitches, then down to the computer and the Diamond. New needle, same thread, shredding before completing one design; changed to embroidery needle from quilting needle; still shredding. Finally got back to it today with different thread, cotton quilting thread; still shredding. Changed to topstitching needle, did one motif without shredding. Next square, shredding. I am going nuts. Any suggestions I would welcome at this point!!!!

I hate to say anything for fear I jinx myself, but I seem to have fixed my quilting problem. I have 6 more blocks to quilt and will be done with that part. Then I have to figure out what I want to do in the border. QFKs have to be quilted in the borders too. I am so close to being done, my goal is to finish today so I can get back to the big one I started with. By the way, I love everyone's pinwheels, couldn't pick a favorite.
