Curved Pinwheels

No site knowledge, Estelle (of course, this is me you are talking to!!). However, which bit do you want curved? the outer 'square' or the blades of the 'wheel'? . In message , Estelle Gallagher writes

hey, E. recall that day we chatted bout the sq you fold in half on the diagonal. gives you a bias edge that 'rolls' back over itself, a quick few stitches to hold it in place and you've got a curve. that piece can be inserted into seams on top of sqs to give you a curved pinwheel. clear as mud i'm sure. ok ok, i must remember to find ya online today soon, so we can do a call and chat again. this method will give you that curved pinwheel you fancy. hows the needle felting coming along? ok ok, i'll find out when i call ya, eh. cheers from half a world away, lol. jeanne

Have a look at that -seems to be Drunkard's Path squares set in a pinwheel. Roberta in D

Well, if you don't get any site details, I can give you instructions on how to do the bias folding that Jeanne was describing; or how to draw and then cut the ones on the site Roberta gave you. Just give me a call, if you need a hand. . In message , Estelle Gallagher writes

Estelle and i had a voice chat a couple weeks ago thru yahoo msg'r all bout how this worked. not sure it makes sense til one trys it with a wee square of fabric tho, eh. now if yahoo msg'r could again get the convo to work with all of us using voice would be really good. cheers, jeanne

alright you little imp you... find me online tomorrow (your evening) and we'll go thru it again. it really is easy peasy. we can do this together. just get a few wee squares of fabric to play with while we chat, eh. Jessamy also knows how to do this so if i'm not around/online, see if Jess is online. i'll let her know in case she doesnt read this, lol. i'm chatting with her now so no worrys. see ya soon, jeanne

Estelle, you might want to check on "spiral" because that is what those are frequently called. I do know that there are a few versions in BlockBase, in the Curved/ 4-Patch section.

Pati, > Thanks Pat. I was thinking of the blades actually! I know I've seen them

hey Estelle, after our wee chat last night you know how to do the curves. have a look at this website for some real inspiration.

ya online again soon.cheers, jeanne

Eeew - take a look at my whirligigs on my yahoo site - are they similar to what you are looking for? If so I'm happy to send you the instructions.
