So here are some pictures but pay no attention to the fact that my threads don't match, that there's all sorts of junk under my extension table, or that there's a Chinese takeout menu under there...
Starting to sew the squares with the "right" sides together:
I sewed until I got a 1/4" from the edge, left my needle down, and turned the corner:
A couple of pictures of one of my squares sewn on all 4 sides. I probably didn't need to back stitch but it's habit:
I just realized that I didn't take any pictures while cutting but that's probably for the best because I am very accident prone. Here are my triangles:
I ironed all of the seams the same direction:
Here are my squares ready to be made into pinwheels:
I brought them to my sewing area and chain stitched them top to bottom:
The look a bit like flags when they are chained stitched like this:
I cut all of the now rectangles:
Finally, I stacked my rectangles so I can continue tomorrow. I will press them and get them ready to be sewn into pinwheel squares:
One last picture...My little "helper" was at it again. She kept trying to get under my table to lay down and I kept having to send her away because she was in the way of my pedal. She looks so pitiful!!
I've decided that I am going to take off the pink and purple border so I can add the second black border. I know it's a waste of thread and will be time consuming but I also know that I will love it that much more when it's all done.
