To spite the weather we had a good turnout today. Welcome new members Deb and Carol. So glad you both found our group.
Everybody brought lots of pinwheel blocks to be finished so we picked sashing colors for each. Can't wait to see the finished results next month. And no one wants me to have down time on the longarm as I have 8 new tops to finish before we meet again.
To recap the directions for finishing the pinwheels:
Your blocks should measure 8 1/2" square. You will need to cut 8 pcs of sashing 2" x 8 1/2". Layout your pinwheels 3 blocks wide x 4 blocks long. Sew sashings to sides of blocks in each row. Press. Now measure the length of each row. Cut 3 sashing pieces 2" x width of row. Attach these between the four rows. Press. Measure the total length and cut 2 sashing pieces 2" x length. Sew to right and left sides. Press seam to outside Repeat top and bottom. Again repeat with 3 1/2" sashing pieces. And you're finished.
Be sure to call me with any questions.
