Darlene -
I'd like to join in, but I have a few clarification questions:
Do we provide the buttons for the blocks? Or do we supply our own buttons? I know some long arm quilters do not like buttons on the blocks before the quilts are quilted.
Are these to be bright colors or is there no specification on color shades. Can the white be TnT (tone-on-tone) or does it have to be a solid?
Do you want all "colored" pinwheels to "spin" in one direction? If so, this needs to be specified, because they can be assembled either way.
Thanks!

Please sign me up too! I like some of Linda's questions, so I will keep watching for the answers. Also, should all of our pinwheels be alike or could I for example make 6 green pinwheels and 6 pink pinwheels? Thanks Darlene for hosting this. I am excited already!

Answer to Linda's ?s
1. We will attach our own buttons to the blocks we make for everyone.If someone doesn't want buttons just request it.
2. The white can be solid or tone on tone.
3. I was going to suggest colors and have each person do 1 color for all of their blocks such as, lt blue, dk blue, lt green, dk green etc. but some people may be limited to where they can get their fabric so what ever color everybody chooses is fine. Is that ok everyone?
4. Yes they should all spin one way. To the right.
Nettie, Linda O.,Rebecca and Linda Jo I signed you all up. Yippee!

Hi all
Just a hint/tip on the pinwheels. If you take one of each block-1 color and 1 white and put them right sides together. draw a line diagonally corner to corner. sew 1/4" from the line on each side of your drawn line. cut the pieces apart using the diagonal line. you have 2 pinwheels and don't have to mess with

sorry somehow i hit send. If you make them this way you don't have to try and sew the triangles together which is on the bias and can stretch the fabric. I have my fabric picked out. these are surely additive! I find quilting additive.
