Good Afternoon to you!
With a comforting mug of tea settling next to the keyboard and my written notes laid out before me, let’s explore the latest instalment in my quilt block tutorials – the Pinwheel Block!
Inspired by a block in the book ‘500 Quilt Blocks’ by Lynne Goldsworthy & Kerry Green, the Pinwheel Block is deceptively easy!
Here’s what you need to do to make this block!
Measurement & cutting instructions
(This block only requires two contrasting fabrics.)
Cut x2: 6″ squares from one fabric for the corners
Cut x2: 4.5″ squares from each fabric for the HSTs*
Final block size: 25.4cm or 10″ square.
And as always, let me know if you’re going to give this block go! You can email your lovely pictures to this address: 3and3quarters@gmail.com
Happy Sewing Friends!

PS. Regarding my Christmas videos: These will begin in December, with the first one due to come out on Wednesday the 3rd! Then every Sunday & Wednesday upload, until the end of the month will be Christmassy related! Whoo! (This is just incase I didn’t really explain it well enough in the video!) I hope you will all enjoy the ideas and projects I have in store!
*HSTs = Half Square Triangles

Thanks! Yes, Buzz is always my constant companion in my sewing room and I love it! 🙂
I’m not all that fussed about threads. But in saying that, I tend to always use Gutermann Polyester thread in an off white/cream colour when I’m piecing and polyester or cotton when I’m quilting.
