This block is the second easiest block in this quilt. It is called the double pinwheel.
Fabric Requirements
Fabric 1 (large triangle) – (cut 2) 6 7/8 in. squares cut diagonally once into 2 triangles.
Fabric 2 (small triangle) – (cut 1) 7 1/4 in. square cut diagonally twice into 4 triangles.
Fabric 3 (background) – (cut 1) 7 1/4 in. square cut diagonally twice into 4 triangles.
Step 1
Layer fabric 2 RST (right sides together) with fabric 3. Sew 1/4” along the short side of the triangle. Press open. Repeat for remaining 3 triangles.
Step 2
Place sewn triangles RST with fabric 1 triangle. Sew long edges together. Be extra careful to not stretch the fabric as you are sewing since it is cut on the bias. Press towards large triangle.
Trim to 6 1/2 in. square.
Step 3
Lay squares in a four patch. Sew the top row together then the bottom row. Press towards fabric 2. Sew rows together making sure to pin the center. Press seam open to help with the thickness of the center seam.
Your pinwheel is finished! Now make one more using different fabrics.
You are finished with month 2! Pat yourself on the back (and maybe eat a little chocolate).
