I used to work for Joann's (fabric retailer here in the states) and can't count the number of times customers returned those things claiming they were defective. In the end, the blades are just a better idea. <BR/><BR/>The pinwheels look great, btw. I admire your stick-to-itness with them. After about 5, I decide I'm done with them. lol. <BR/><BR/>Do you know of any international, smaller fabric swaps starting up soon? I would love to swap a few fat quarters with folks from other countries in a few months.jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122459091874511418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31791996.post-32863106211150003442007-05-10T00:47:00.000+08:002007-05-10T00:47:00.000+08:00Love the pinwheels!

You could save the yellow for the borders -- would give you the splash, but not have to worry as much about how well it works with the white.<BR/><BR/>As for the blades, I've heard good things about buying them on e-bay relatively cheaply.atethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563533672161608587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31791996.post-49184418016369823742007-05-09T20:31:00.000+08:002007-05-09T20:31:00.000+08:00I love pinwheels -- yours is going to be very cute...I love pinwheels -- yours is going to be very cute.<BR/><BR/>I'm with Vicki, don't bother with the sharpener....Suzanne Earleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385498304922239050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31791996.post-63558085255381730092007-05-09T18:54:00.000+08:002007-05-09T18:54:00.000+08:00Save you money from the sharpener and just buy mor...Save you money from the sharpener and just buy more blades. I have a sharpener and never thought that it was worth much. There are services that sharpen blades but I just buy them in bulk. <BR/>The pinwheel quilt is going to be so cute!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31791996.post-57002188015598504032007-05-09T17:03:00.000+08:002007-05-09T17:03:00.000+08:00Yep Helen need more Green!!

On the blade front I got my last lot of 5 off ebay...good price too...as for the blade sharpener...I don't have one but have heard that they sharpen the blade by thinning the edge and that's not good apparently...???
