06 March 2010

pinwheel sampler quilt along.

yayyy!!!
here are the instructions for block three!!!

this is my most favorite pinwheel block of all time.
:)

015

yall will need:
four 3 7/8" x 3 7/8" squares of focal print fabric {mine=pink/green}
two 3 7/8" x 3 7/8" squares of secondary print fabric {mine=pink}

six 3 7/8" x 3 7/8" squares of solid fabric {mine=cream}
four 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" squares of solid fabric {mine=cream}

020

using my hst tutorial, use your 3 7/8" squares to make 12 hst blocks.

024

this is our block layout.
pure cuteness.

029

sew row one together, pressing seams to the right.
sew row two together, pressing seams to the left.
sew row three together, pressing seams to the right.
sew row four together, pressing seams to the left.
{this will ensure perfect seams.}

036

sew all four rows together to construct your block.
man i ♥ this block.

049

now make one more block in a completely different color scale.

so that's 6 blocks down. 10 to go.
are yall having as much fun as i am???

i can't wait to start seeing all of yall's blocks show up in our flickr pool.

{pdf version of this tutorial can be found here.}

Pin It!

I'm so excited about this quilt! It's really fun to have so many different blocks, yet I am not overwhelmed because they are 2 per week. THANKS so much, Rachel!

Thanks for posting. It gives me incentive to keep focused. We're about to relocate across the US and I can keep my sanity if I have small projects I can work on during this process.

I know this has nothing to do with this post but I thought it was so funny to read your profile and see that there is someone else in this world that also bust out in random dance/ song just like me. Nice to know there are other adults out there that know how to keep a little bit of kid left in them.
