Pinwheel Sunrise

Pinwheel Sunrise
A JINNY BEYER STUDIO Design
Read through all instructions before beginning. Seam allowances are ¼". Press seams to one side.
(Where it will assist in matching seams, pressing direction is noted.)
Step Three: Mark & Cut Pinwheel Blocks
Step One: Construct the “Base Fabric”
Place your Pinwheel Template over the intersection of four
blocks, matching the center dot to the seam intersection.
Start in in the upper left corner, as shown in Diagram 2.
Mark around all sides of your template. Place a pin at the
top of each block (as indicated by your template.) After
you’ve marked each pinwheel block (you will have 48
blocks), cut out each block.
Important: Be sure to place each block on your design surface
in order as you cut it out, with the pinned side at the top.
Cut out all fabrics as indicated on Page 4. Lay out the 8¼"
squares cut from Fabrics 1-26 in the order shown in Diagram
1. When sewn together, this will form your “Base Fabric”.
Important: Double- check that your fabrics are in order. If the
order is not correct, the pinwheels will not match!
To create the base fabric, sew the squares together in rows.
Press seams in odd-numbered rows to the left, and seams in
even-numbered rows to the right. Sew the rows together.

(If you have not already cut out your cornerstones using
Template B, cut them now. See page 4 for instructions.)

Numbers refer to Fabric Numbers. R#s are row numbers.

Step Two: Make Pinwheel Template
Make Template A (page 3) from see-through template plastic.
Be sure to mark all lines on your pinwheel template, as well
as the TOP and BOTTOM.

Step Four: Assemble the Quilt
R1
A) Sew a sashing strip to the right side of the first five pinwheel blocks in each row. Press seams toward sashing. Sew
the blocks together in rows.
R2
B) Next, on your design surface, arrange the horizontal
sashing strips and cornerstones under Block Rows 1-7.
Important: the cornerstone fabric must match the fabrics
that form the pinwheel in the four adjoining blocks to maintain the pinwheel illusion. See Diagram 3.
Sew the horizontal sashing/cornerstone strips. Press the
seams towards the sashing.

R4
C) Sew the sashing rows to the block row above, matching
the cornerstones to the vertical sashing. Sew the rows
together.

Step Five: Add the Borders
R6
Pinwheel Sunrise’s borders are made up of three fabric
strips. For the top, bottom and side borders, match the
center points of each strip, then sew the three fabrics
together as shown in Diagram 4. (The ends will not be
even.) For your top and bottom borders, press seams
toward middle strip; for side borders, press seams away
from middle strip.

R8
Diagram 3: Assembling the Quilt
Lay your top border horizontally across the center of your
quilt, matching quilt center to border center. Using a
right-angle triangle, mark the miter on both ends of your
border as shown. (The wide border will always be the
longest!) Repeat for the bottom border.
Repeat the process for your side borders, placing the borders vertically along the quilt.
Pin a border to the quilt, matching the center and ends,
and easing fullness as necessary. Sew the border to the
quilt, stopping and starting 1/4" from the edges.
Repeat for remaining borders.
Sew the miters at each corner, beginning at the inside seam
and sewing to the outer edge of the border.
Step Six: Finish the Quilt
Layer the quilt as follows: backing (wrong side up), batting, quilt top (right side up). Baste layers together. Quilt
as desired.
When quilting is completed, trim backing and batting
even with edges of quilt top. Make binding strips using
reserved Fabric 27 and bind using your favorite binding
method.
