Wow! I’m so thankful to have found you this morning. I’ve just struggled with 3 of 30 pin wheels for a small quilt. Love the basting trick! Thank you from Atlanta!🇺🇸

[@QuiltWithKim]

You are very welcome 🙂 Glad I could help.

[@theresamcnicholl3916]

This has been the best tutorial I have watched. I'm an educator, and your teaching is 10/10 I listened to several pinwheel tutorials, been having a lot of trouble. Most tutorials go way to fast, miss details, don't repeat, and then at the end tell you it is really "easy" Thanks Kim, I so encouraged now.

[@QuiltWithKim]

Awww thank you so much Theresa; that means such a lot ❤️ Do let me know if there are any other blocks that you’re struggling with as I’m currently planning my tutorials for the next six months 😌 Kim x

[@yvonnelooper363]

Thank you so much , I have struggled so much with matching my points but you have really made it easy . You’re the best ❤

[@QuiltWithKim]

Awww you're very welcome 💖 Kim x

[@kshav62]

Wow, thanks for this! I just started making pinwheels and was having problems with that middle bit!!

[@QuiltWithKim]

You're very welcome; hopefully you're all sorted now with the middle bit 😊

[@joycegill8593]

Your instructions are impeccable, I believe I can do this to perfection like yours! I'll let you know how mine turns out, this'll be my first one. I'm a perfectionist too, so wish me luck! Thank you so much! Joyce 😊. ❤

[@QuiltWithKim]

Thank you so much Joyce, and I'm wishing you all the luck with your pinwheel block 🍀. Please let me know how you get on! Kim x

I just started quilting and find your instructions remarkably clear. I succeeded with the pinwheels, they look awesome! thank you!!!!!

[@QuiltWithKim]

Thank you and you are very welcome! So glad you have some awesome pinwheels...I love the block! x

[@yvonneobrien8431]

Thank you for your wonderful tutorial. I bought a kit and am teaching myself how to quilt. It isn’t going well with the pinwheel pattern. Your tutorial is the best that I watched. I hope it goes well for me. Thank you.

[@bethwatley4690]

Fabulous tutorial. I’m just starting to quit and I loved the 1” of seam across the middle of the block. Thanks. Subscribed!!

[@QuiltWithKim]

You’re very welcome ☺️ Kim x

[@elizabethgherardini9697]

great video!!, excellent instructions, thanks for sharing, just teaching myself to quilt and wanted to do a quilt as you go after constructing my blocks. want to make a quick quilt for a friend that is terminally ill and was trying to find an easy block to construct. I came across your video and I feel so blessed to be able to understand it and I think it will work for what I want to. God bless you, you are an excellent teacher

[@QuiltWithKim]

You're very welcome Elizabeth... a pinwheel block is a pretty quick make and will look amazing for your friend (and I'm so sorry to hear about your friend too 😢). If you need help with the sashing of your QAYG blocks, I've got a video on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYbYfmmYpZ6Vb5I and my mini series on binding can be found in this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLiMkDqjQaRI1zRK8oCOkGx88ejk7Ai-3Q Kim x

[@carolinesilkowski89]

Thanks for this video, great Lear instructions, but I need lots of practice

[@QuiltWithKim]

Glad it helped Caroline; but this is a block that definitely does need some practice to get right so keep going! Kim x

[@lindablount1524]

[@maryharvey724]

Brilliant use of long basting stitching on the apex point.

[@QuiltWithKim]

Thank you Mary 😊

[@marcimcgowan1973]

Nice!!

[@QuiltWithKim]

Thank you 🙏😊 Kim x

[@aletcloete6910]

Cute idea

[@QuiltWithKim]

Thank you! 😊 Kim x

[@mamacutt]

Once you have stitched all the pinwheels together do you trim each block to make sure it is square?

[@QuiltWithKim]

Great question; it depends on how 'square' it is to start with, but if it's a bit wobbly, then yes, I will square up. I have a separate video on squaring up a block if that would help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emaynZ5_o7aChZI Kim x

[@collettemccrumlish5381]

I’ve bought one of those little irons.

[@QuiltWithKim]

They're fabulous, aren't they Collette? 😍

[@collettemccrumlish5381]

@@QuiltWithKim I haven’t actually used it yet. I’m getting a crafting room ready so I have a space for my sewing machine and I won’t have to keep tidying it away all the time.

[@joanneanderson1459]

With this tutorial I was hoping you would show pressing the pinwheel after the final seam. Twirling or popping….

[@QuiltWithKim]

I've got that saved for a future video Joanne 😌
