Pinwheels

One of my favorite tutorial sites to learn quilting techniques and get quilt ideas is the Missouri Star Quilt Company on YouTube.  I've been wanting to try their Fast and Easy Pinwheels!!! method... so last night, I did!

There has been some concern online about the bias edges but I didn't have a lot of problem with that... the photo reveals where a bias edge is not already in a seam, it tends to draw up a little.  However, I think once all the blocks are made and sewn together with an added border... that everything will be even...

Oh... and I want to point out that the points of the pinwheels don't match exactly... but you know something?  I'm hoping this quilt will be so loved and used that it won't matter one little bit if it's not perfect!

Wouldn't you know it... the first number drawn was a "no reply" blogger who didn't leave her email address in her post.... so I had to draw another number.   

Drum roll please....   and the winner of the wonky star mug rug / mat is.....
