Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I am making some Bible bags again for my friend's ministry when she goes to the Philippines this fall again. I have looked thru EB books and u-tube videos but can't seem to find any info on this block. I was sure there is some easy way to make this block by strip piecing and then sewing diagonally with a square and you instantly have two pieced blocks?? Thanks. Just trying to come up with various blocks to make each bag unique. THANKS!

Here's MTS's explanation on how to do this.

I'd start out by stip piecing the pink and yellow.
then sew the blue strip pieced on. good luck
It would be awesome to do the pinwheel in 3d.
using a prairie point in the yellow section.
put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.
Yes, do HSTs with the pink/yellow and then use those as have the HST with the blue. But remember your yellow and pink have to start out larger than the blue to get the right sizing since their seam will take up some of the size. I haven't done these in a while, but you are on the right track!
Maybe this graphic will help.

Thanks Jan!! That is exactly what I was looking for. My blocks I will be making are 6" finished. Should have posted that information. My "quilt" size is 12" x 18" The subunits will be 3" finished.

I always do better with pictures...thanks Jan!Originally Posted by Jan in VA
I am making a block at the moment that has 4 of these in it. They all four are to be identical. I followed your tutorial but I got mirror images. Is there a way to make them all the same? The original instructions has you cutting all the 1/4 and !/2 squares and sewing them together.
Jan's way is the way I would do it......
Looks easier than other methods I've seen. Thanks for sharing Jan,
