I think I was a squirrel in another life. I'm obsessed with gathering things together. Or more likely I was a crow, 'cause most of them are bits of paper, ribbon, threads and sparkly things. Here's a gem of a video tutorial by the Artistic Avenger (found thanks to Awesome Allison.) It inspired this pinwheel collection:

For paper piecing? (Or to stamp & use as image for card/scrapbookin' as photo mats maybe?):
I made these templates for this box & lid...
...(which looks BIG but is only 2 5/8 inches square!) It took me 83 million tries to get the lid the right size, but I think it's just right now. The best way to use this template may be to trace it onto c.s. or d.p. since there are teensy dots from the scanner; why!?! I don't know. Do you know? The paper I used is basic grey Gypsy & retired SU (in case you wanted to find some.) I've been seeing lots of neat projects with bright colours against white, so I left the gift box white...
The pinwheel template for this box topper is here (there are two sizes 50% and 100%)

Hope these pinwheel projects are useful to you, :0)
