Nice and clear! Thanks, Vanessa. I watched another tutorial on preparing a 3D pinwheel, and it was certainly not like yours. Thank you for carefully explaining everything! Pat Berne
I just bought my first sewing machine at 55. I've never sewn before and will admit to being nervous. Your lessons are fantastic! I think I can do this! Thanks for offering this for newbies like me.
I love this block!! I have already made 4 samples. I will be showing them at one of my quilt meetings and giving them my written instructions, giving credit to Crafty Gemini.
Enjoyed the tutorial. I love your new "Studio". The overhead and side shots are great not that your old tutorials were not enjoyable, but you are more at ease because you don't have to do the filming. So happy for all of your accomplishments, Vanessa!
I have some really cute charm packs just waiting to be made into a baby quilt. I love the 3-D concept in this block!! And no cutting??? LOVE IT. Thanks Vanessa for always giving good tutorials. (I think you showing the mistake will save me from time w/ my seam ripper, too!!!)
Amy McQueen No problem! Glad to help! I know some people will still make the mistake but wanted to show the visual so you understand why and how it will look if it's not consistent. Glad you enjoyed it!
I Love this! I bought a charm pack of Kona solids a few years ago and have never figured out what in the world to do with them. They would be so cute with a plain white or light color background- a super cute baby doll blankie for my niece! Thank you do much, Vanessa! Also, my birthday was this past Tuesday, June 9th- Gemini's Rock!
Wow. I made one of these blocks and because of your awesome teaching skills it turned out fantastic. If it had not been for your instructions on how things could wrong , I surely would have messed things up. I wish I could post a picture of the block I made.
I would love to see tutorial also for wall hanging right behind you! I 'm planning to do the 3D pinwheel half the size and sew a ribbon on to make a small tree ornament and maybe a matching throw pillow!
great tips on bulky sewing. Another from Karen Black of "Just get it done Quilts," a couple folds of fabric as a bumper to hold the back of the pressor foot while sewing up to thicker folds helps getting over the humps.
hello i loved making these pinwheels if u let everyone know that if you press your seems open it will reduce that bulk and they lay nicely this was a fun block to make
Just finished this super fun, easy block! Will post photo soon. Thanks Vanessa for another creative idea that can be put to practical use if wanted! ~Montana Lynn
great block, looks easy enough to do but I will only work with solids as the back ground and prints as the pinwheel using prints for both is way to busy and looses some of it flare
Hi Vanessa I love your tutorials please keep them coming. Is there anyway you can do a tutorial on making a quilt from uncut fat quarters? I have some fat quarters I can't cut lol!! And also how to sash a quilt??
Great tutorial, a little fast speaking but once you get into her speed it's easier. Love the Juki you are using, how do you get the foot pedal to reach to where you can stand? I am stretching my leg just to get it to reach under the table. :)
You are a great instructor believe me. This project needs to have more fabric contrast to make it visually worth the effort of making. If I can't really notice the pinwheel, what difference does it make if it is 3d?
Kathie Fleming This would make a a good quilt for a young child... The 3d isn't for the looking, it is tactile for the child to feel and play with.. Would make a make a better pillow for a little one......
Question?? Why can't you just pin the fabric then sew it all at once so you don't have all that bulk? And it takes two steps out and goes faster? i am all about time. lol.. love the block and you too..
I cannot find a tutorial that i enjoyed, can u help. The tutor used two or three blocks, she moved them around on the design wall to completely change the design, it was quite wonderful. I dont know the name of the tutor or the site, hope you can help, thank you in advance

Such a cute block, thanks! Love how easy it is too, especially if using the 5 inch charm squares. I love it with the sashing as well.
I love this block! Thanks!
Love your tutorials Vanessa!
Pamela Casey Thank you! I'm trying to make them better! :)
Definitely making this into a quilt.
Fabulous and nice and easy. For me as I am a beginner.

YOU EXPLAIN EACH STEP WITH GEAT DETAIL AS THE VERY BEST INSTRUCTORS DO!
Love this and your cute wee iron

hello i loved making these pinwheels if u let everyone know that if you press your seems open it will reduce that bulk and they lay nicely this was a fun block to make
This is so stinking cute!! Where did you get the mini iron and board?
I'm going to try this with a solid black background and bright prints for the "wheels".
Just finished this super fun, easy block! Will post photo soon. Thanks Vanessa for another creative idea that can be put to practical use if wanted! ~Montana Lynn
great block, looks easy enough to do but I will only work with solids as the back ground and prints as the pinwheel using prints for both is way to busy and looses some of it flare
Crafty Gemini. Live this block. Can you do a big quilt with this block and how would you quilt it
Cute project!! Do you back stitch when you are sewing the blocks together?
I love it!!! I I want to try to make this n for baby due in Dec from church!! I don't know how to match the color etc..
Any idea baby cold fabrics ??
Hi Vanessa I love your tutorials please keep them coming. Is there anyway you can do a tutorial on making a quilt from uncut fat quarters? I have some fat quarters I can't cut lol!! And also how to sash a quilt??
I just love your video's! question is, would this pinwheel blocks be suitable for a fun or queen size quilt? thank you in advance for your response
Great tutorial, a little fast speaking but once you get into her speed it's easier. Love the Juki you are using, how do you get the foot pedal to reach to where you can stand? I am stretching my leg just to get it to reach under the table. :)
is this pinwheel quilt blocks suitable for a full size quilt?
Do you still use your Voyager 17?
You are a great instructor believe me.
This project needs to have more fabric contrast to make it visually worth the effort of making. If I can't really notice the pinwheel, what difference does it make if it is 3d?

susan chase thanks for the clarification.
Question?? Why can't you just pin the fabric then sew it all at once so you don't have all that bulk? And it takes two steps out and goes faster? i am all about time. lol.. love the block and you too..
meant to say full lol
Hola! Vanessa me encantas pero tengo una pregunta cada vez que quiero empezar un Quilt no se por donde empezar soy primerisa gracias😳😁

I notice you never use a walking foot in your tutorial. How do you manage when using fleece batting and expecially when you double it??
