Pinwheels

Got 4 Fabrics?  Make a baby pinwheel.  Well, the quilt is baby size, the pinwheel is big and chunky.

I took a cute baby print for the background.  Picking 4 colors from it,  I found 4 fabrics--it takes just one  5" strip each to get the 4 slices.  I cut 4  5" background strips into the 16 slices needed.  Pair up, then pinwheel up--and I had 4 fast blocks for a baby quilt.

I like the pinwheels with a floating background border.  It keeps the pinwheels distinct and not crowded.

  1. Funny--I was just looking at this style pinwheel to work into a quilt. I like the colors you chose.
