Wow, where is the year going........... I didn't realize that it has been so long since I have been on this group site. I am shamed to say that I have been very lax indeed! Hope everyone here is having a wonderful year and have been doing lts of sewing and quilting!! I wasn't able to do anything for almost three months, as I had shoulder surgery, but am back at it now.... Missed it terribly............. and so happy to be able to sew again!
In fact I have two classes coming up this month and I am looking forward to also!
Have a great day and a super rest of the year.......
Hugs,
Carol

Hi ptracker. Pinwheels are pretty easy once you remember to press all of your seam allowances in the same direction.
Karen did and excellent tutorial here: http://www.connectingthreads.com/tutorials/Intro_to_Half_Square_Tri...
If you have questions, just holler, and someone will help out.

I'm working on pinwheels and I find your instructions, inspiration (photos, ideas...) and tips most useful. Being in Spain, I did not know what a scant quarter was, now I know it and keep perfecting my techniques. Thanks to you all, again. I'll post a picture of the 2 quilts I'm making right now (both pinwheels) when they are finished.
