Re: Disappearing Pinwheel
I just finished my disappearing pinwheel quilt. It is ready and waiting for the quilting lady to get her quilting machine repaired.
The pinwheel blocks turned out very nice, and I am pleased. I did not have any problems putting these together.
But........... There was a big problem with the pinwheel border. The borders did not match up with the quilt. I called Missouri store before I started putting the small pinwheels together as I just had a feeling. I was concerned about the size of blocks that are to be sewn in between the pinwheels.
I was told to use a jelly roll which they stated are 2 1/2" wide. This is what I used and had to take my border all apart and on some make some of the pieces wider for the sides to be the correct length. On the ends I had to take them apart and cut down some of the pieces to make the border fit.
The quilt did come out quite nice. But, what a horrible experience I had with the pinwheel borders.
