So I decided to try this and it was a lot of fun. Now that I look at the picture I am thinking I need to add another border. Make it bigger. Also has anyone made one of these. I feel like I need to tack down each blade at the right of the fold. It lays nice but it just seems like that should be tacked down.

Re: 3D Pinwheel
I would lay the new border on the top of the quilt(right sides tog.), raw edges matching. then pin the back border and the batting piece on the back, matching edges. sew and press the new borders away from quilt. your dand wich would look like this:
new border
quilt
backing strip
batting
If you've ever done one of the 6 hour quilts using kaye woods it would be the same idea.“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world, is and remains immortal.”

This would have helped when I made a panel piece and cut it out before realizing it needed additional borders to make it more balanced.Patrice

I have thought of trying this out and I think I just found my inspiration. Thank you Patrice! It is wonderful!
