The block this month is the Pinwheel Block. The Pinwheel block is a traditional quilt block with history dating it back to around 1795. The pinwheel block gave a little more flare to quilts at the time it was introduced.




This is a 12 1/2'' unfinished or 12'' finished block.

All seams are 1/4''

Cutting:
Dark fabric: A 4- 4'' x 4''

1. On the back of all piece C's draw a diagonal line from corner to corner. See diagram !a.
