Hello Cuties, this is a runner I made using Jenny Doan's Disappearing Pinwheel block pattern. Although I didn't use a layer cake I cut my blocks 10.5 inches, thinking that would be divisible by 3 equal parts of 3.5 inch. Well, my first block wasn't right. I knew as soon as I made the first cut it was wrong.

When you get your large pinwheel made REMEASURE as your block won't be 10.5 like you started with, it was 13.5 so divided by 3 equal parts, I should have cut at 4.5 inches. Live and learn, so I'm just reminding you of this in case you make one. No matter what size you start with, remeasure before slicing into those 3 equal parts.
I cut my border at 3.5 inches and my yellow binding at 2.25 or 2 1/4 inch. Overall quilted finished measurement is 17.5 x 41.5- The fabric is really pretty but the picture was taken at night and picture doesn't do justice to colors.
I have one more runner to make and then that's it. A friend took my top home with her to see if she had a backing to match. Maybe she did and maybe she will go ahead and finish it :) ... lol
Anyway, just wanted to tell you my first block mistake so you wouldn't make the same one I did. (And to think, I made this block before!-look at the link. I also have the link for the You Tube there)
Have a blessed Sunday-Toogie
