    It is precisely as catmcclure has deducted. So each block has one blade of a pinwheel at the top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right. If you want your large rectangle fabrics to be well distributed in your quilt and if you want the blades of each pinwheel to match (as in the pattern photo) you must set it all out on a design wall and are then dealing with a really fussy assembly process to make sure you sew each piece in the proper place (and the blades going the proper directions) to acheive this.

    I really like this pattern and in the colors shown it looks so bright and summery.

    Thanks DebraK for finding the pattern source!

    I would love to know how to 'Google' the image. If you would share that I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks, Brenda

    I stumbled across this quilt image (the multi colored pinwheel) and can't find the pattern. I have followed the links and they don't lead to the quilt pattern. It looks like maybe it was for sale at one time but maybe not anymore. Does this look familiar to anyone?

    I am intrigued by how this would be pieced.
    I actually made this quilt for my DGD. I saw a photo and drafted it myself to my size needs. It is an Eleanor Burns pattern, if I am correct...at least the one I used to draft mine was. Look at her books. If I am able to find the original photo tomorrow, I will let you know more. Good Luck. It is an easy quilt and turns out beautifully.

    To break the pattern down in this matter, takes a lot of guessing out of the pattern. I like the quilt and will have to put it on my to do list.

    No need to lay out the entire quilt. Did you notice that all the block half square triangles were made exactly the same with the corners being green, gold, pink, green in the same position in each block so when you turn the blocks the colors will match up. Easy peasy!

    The color layout did vary row by row but all blocks in each row were the same.
