In the original pastel quilt, the squares were 6" finished, making 12" finished blocks.

But this is really more of a "method" than a "pattern," so it will work perfectly for any size you wish, including 1/2" finished squares (making 1" square finished blocks)!!!!

This does look very easy. How did you do the top stitching, by stippling or with a pattern. I have grand daughter(?) due in Feb and I would love to do this for her.

OMG - THANK YOU! I have been looking at Pinwheels to finsh one of the Angel Quilts I'm doing. This would be perfect. Does anyone have a Star pattern that resembles a 3D like this? Would like to finish the other one w/stars.
