This is my first block (12" x 12")
I had a very good teacher (my wife) Using my wifes new template set and following the instructions to the letter, I managed to get a good result. I admit I had to unpick some stitching a couple of times but I was happy with the points.
It took me around an hour to finish.

That is just beautiful! Great job! Where did you find the pattern? I really like it.

Kathy N 03-28-2010 03:01 AM

You did a fantastic job! Will this be part of a quilt? The colors are awesome.

Bill 03-28-2010 03:06 AM

The pattern is part of a template set "The Westalee Pinwheel Block Set" it is a set of templates (8) that can make more than 80 different block designs
My wife has just finished a book that compliments the set

Bill 03-28-2010 03:08 AM

Unforunately I made it from my wife stash and it is a discontinued fabric line here in Australia. I made the block to test my wifes pattern

Fabric will not be so much of a problem - its selecting the right combinations that is hard, I am color blind
