Pin wheels

[Gilla]

I watched Jennie's demo of the pinwheel on uTube today.
My sample did not come out right. I used 1/4" seams, and followed the instructions. Still the quarter sections did not match. One was shorter than the others and would distort the pinwheel. The pieces did not match in size. I think I followed the directions. In fact, I watched it twice. What did I do wrong?

Re: Pin wheels

Sounds like you miscut one of the sections. Did you try it a second time and have the same thing happen? Could you post a picture so we can see what you mean by shorter than the other sections? That way we can see what you are dealing with and would be more able to help you.

Re: Pin wheels

You won't believe it, but I threw it out. One of the four sections came out too short to match the others, and I would have had to really stretch it to fit. Anyway, I will try it again with some other charms and see how it works out. I watched Jenny and hers matched exactly right. Skill!
