This month for the Mod Stash Quilting Bee, the host, Terri, wanted a pinwheel block. Any pinwheel would be fine, as she wanted to make her quilt a pinwheel sampler. I looked around and found a tutorial on Riley Blake for a pinwheel that I thought was really fun.
For my fabrics, I used Alexander Henry Lou Lou (in both pink and blue colorways), Michael Miller Brady Blossoms, and Jessica Levitt River Timber in Dogwood.
The block was really fun to make. I sewed four 21″ strips of fabric together, used a strip of Kona white to sew on top of it, then cut into 45 degree triangles. I sewed those four squares together, then trimmed the block in pink.
Hope my partner enjoys this block, it was really fun to make my first pinwheel!
Very pretty! I haven’t decided what type of pinwheel I’m going to make yet.
I love it! I’ve never seen any like that before – can’t wait to put it in my quilt!
That is great! I’m not typically a fan of pinwheels, but I could see a whole quilt with that block!
