The pinwheel block is one of the most common and traditional blocks used in quilting.  It first became popular in the early 1800’s.  It is also a good way to hone your quilting skills, especially if you are working on getting nice sharp points.  Have you ever been stuck on a block and you just can’t get the points to match?  I sure have, and this tutorial has tips to help you fix that.

There are plenty of step by step photos to guide you through the block assembly.  You’ll be a pro in no time.
