Americana / Patriotic -  Red White Blue Pinwheels 

Quilt Top blocks

8 x 8 inches

 

I created these beautiful pinwheels quilt blocks.

They might appear to be easier to make, than they really are.

 

Well, I guess it's not that the pinwheel block, overall, is so difficult to make; however, getting the center points exact, is a challenge.  -no matter how many of these blocks have been previously made.

 

I have loved sewing since pre-teen; and have come to realize that SOME quilt blocks just weren't meant to be perfect.  Now. That's my excuse; and I sticking to it.

⤵ Jumping over the TURNSTILES.  ⤳

 

I made a few turnstile blocks recently. This was a first at trying this style of blocks.

 

One would think that, as long as I've been sewing, since childhood, I would have already tried every block that has been made. Nope!

 

 These blocks are approximately 8.25 x 8.25 inches each.

The off-white fabric is called:  Japanese Garden.

 

 

These Cranberry, Green, White, Pink Floral blocks are 8 x 8 inches.

 

 

 These paisley blocks are 6.50 x 6.50.

 

 

The chicks blocks are 8 1/4 each.

 

 

 

I've notice that, depending on the color placement during construction, the turnstile blocks can look-like a totally different pattern; although it is the exact same pattern.

 

There are many more that I still haven't tried. ex. Martha Washington's star, Drunkard Path, etc., and those that are more easily pieced via hand.
