Don’t we all have our favorite patchwork patterns? Mine are definitively stars. But I also have a thing for pinwheels. So I made a pattern trying to combine those two. And I really like how it turned out! 🤩
You can use this block in various projects: a mini quilt, a draw string gift bag, as a front for a pouch. Or make several big ones and turn them into a table runner or a cute little baby quilt. The ebook also has fabric requirements for a whole quilt in two sizes: 40“ x 40“ and 58“ x 71“.
The block pattern comes in ten sizes (4", 4.5", 5", 6", 7", 8“, 9", 9.5", 10" and 12“), with a coloring sheet and a bunch of design examples. The individual sections are clearly labeled and have a ¼“ seam allowance. There are no curves or y-seams. The pattern comes as PDF files in A4 and US Letter paper format.
This pattern is very beginner friendly but it does not include detailed foundation paper piecing (FPP) instructions. You can find lots of free tutorials for the various FPP methods online. A single block can be made with just a few cotton scraps from your stash.

AnneT – neurodiverse creative chaos
creations of a neurodiverse mind
I grew up with the sound of my mum's and grandma's sewing machines and have been sewing since my teenage years. Focused on clothes and accessories first a few years ago I caught the patchwork virus and have been hooked up ever since.
Meanwhile I create my own designs and write patterns for traditional piecing and foundation paper piecing in English and German for beginners and advanced sewers. I love to experiment with different colors and designs and to see what others create with my ideas.
