Well, I guess I'm addicted. I'm making quilts for the craftshow (quick & easy ones, of course) and I can see pinwheels everywhere there are half square triangles involved. This quilt has all different ways to put it together, but I'd not seen it put together with pinwheels... well, I did it. Can't believe how addicting they are! Especially since now pressing them open and are laying flat, I love making them. I am posting the block and then the start of the quilt just layed out but not sewn together yet. I was actually doing this with my daughter in N.C. (long distance) and some friends of hers, we all will have different layouts. I just happen to be way ahead of them because of needing to get things done quickly. Putting 4 blocks together to make the pinwheel gives a 12 1/2" block. I will add a couple borders once this is sewn & it will be done. It's all scraps & stash. BTW, making 1 block gives you two...I love that! The pinwheel is black with chocolate brown dots in a circular shell pattern, hope it shows up.
