Re: Disappearing Pinwheel
I was curious about this block and found it very clever! I think I'd like measurements though before I tackled the border as shown in the video.

Re: Disappearing Pinwheel
I will NOT do this tutorial. I may not be any expert, but this one isn't worth my effort or aggravation. After making several practice blocks, none of them looked good enough to make a quilt. For me, everything was fine until the second time to cut the blocks. No matter what I did, it wouldn't turn out right. It was really close, but just not right for me and I decided not to waste my fabric on a quilt that would call my attention to the flaws.

Re: Disappearing Pinwheel
I am currently working on a quilt using these blocks, have had no problems but I do square my large pinwheel block down to 12" so it is easier to figure the sub-cuts. I plan on setting them on point and doing a 2" border and a 5" border-not the pinwheel border. But as most of my projects go, these plans may change.

Re: Disappearing Pinwheel
Yes I have had trouble. Measured and cut very carefully, but........ So rather than mess the whole quilt up. I started over and took apart the pinwheels and made a Chevron quilt. Coming out lovely. I guess I'll have to practice,practice. I just don't know what I did wrong, obviously in the measuring, but I'm still stumped.
