Sarah Lynn's Quilting: Nine-Patch Pinwheels for the Buoyant Blossoms BOM

Block of the Month for July 2016 --

Nine-Patch Pinwheels

Included in this pattern set are templates, foundation pattern, and rotary cutting instructions. I used foundation patterns, as the patches are a bit irregular in size – such as the square patch, which has an unfinished size of 3 ⅜”. If you do use rotary cutting, be aware that EQ7 has slightly oversized the triangles, and you should square up each pinwheel to 3 ⅜”. Finished size of each pinwheel or square will be 2 ⅞”. Finished block size will be 8 ½”.

You will need 10 full blocks for the personal throw, plus 4 half-blocks on the diagonal. For the wall hanging, you will need 4 full blocks, plus 4 half-blocks. The half-blocks will be sewn to the corners of the Basket of Tulips center piece. Using printed foundations pieces make it easy to make those half-blocks.

Fabric requirements for the nine-patch pinwheels for the personal throw:

Dark pink: ¼ yd.

Light pink: ¼ yd.
