Pinwheel

So yesterday after my not so happy sewing with the quilt/tablerunner..... I decided to put it aside and well.....

I used the charms that were left over to make this pinwheel quilt.





I did my pinwheels the way they did here



This was so fast and easy....

  4. Thank you for the link. My pinwheels (did it just once) never turned out neatly. You make me feel so inadequate. As if I am just sitting around not doing anything or rather not doing enough!

  13. I had forgotten that way. I learned this when I took an online course as a "reviewer" for them. I then got to give a course on my blog. She has several other videos on youtube.

    Your quilt looks great Barb!

  19. Pinwheels are my favorite block and your quilt looks wonderful. I've used that tutorial before and I love how easy and fast it is. I bet it feels good to finish something and actually like it after the troubles you had yesterday.
