These blocks were machine sewn, and rather badly. Every block was a different size. I wanted to use the fabric - they are so cool - but I really didn't want to unpick 24 blocks. Then I realized I could trim them to the same size and cut them apart at the same time. Wooho - I will JUST do that. and JUST sew them back together.
I decided 4 1/2 inches would fit just about all of them.
Such fun fabrics. I wish I new the time frame. It was before my sewing experience.

Such cute blocks, wish I could help you with the fabric line. I'm glad you found a way to use them.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to rework those pinwheels. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap! I have the same problem with Just wanting to do something quick :)
ReplyDeleteThose are some very fun fabrics. It would have been a shame to not resurrect them in some way. The pinwheel blocks are a perfect show case.
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative in your solution! Yes, "just" can be a deceiving little guy - but he's so much fun to play with! Thank you for sharing!
