Pinwheel update--I'm an idiot, but not as much as I thought I was

So it turned out to have nothing to do with math trauma. I really did mess up in the cutting--apparently I used the wrong line on the specialty ruler. Clearly points to how scattered I was during the month of October with a bunch of travel and nights out, doing the block "catch-as-catch-can" in the rare occasions I was home.

Why does it make me somehow feel better to know I made a stupid mistake rather than experiencing a more deep-seeded geometry issue? Yep, still ended up tossing out the original pieces since there really would've been no salvaging them (not being a miniature scrap saver, anyway). Started again with two new fabrics since I had none left of the originals. And these pinwheels, although still tricky to get points together and keep everything aligned, are going beautifully.

But at least I know I wasn't being a blockhead. I was just being an idiot. I can live with that.
