Layout Ideas
Block to block or add an alternate block for a whole new look. Bright windmill pieces
surrounded by dark fabric will make the windmill center pop. Change the two color block
corners into a single fabric and you have a four point star. Your options are endless.
Bonus Block
I often turn left over half-square triangle pieces into “happy blocks”. The block shown below
was made from pieces left over from a baby quilt for my 10th great grandchild.
Whirling Pin Wheels
Cut 31/8" squares into half-square triangles
This block uses 12 Yellow pieces, 4 Green, 4 Blue, 4 Multicolored triangle print, 4 Orange Dot and 4 Orange Check
pieces. Block layout designs are endless. Add sashing and
borders and you have a quickly sewn baby or friendship quilt.
The cheerful bright colors in this block make me smile.
Happy Quilting!
