Transform your pinwheels into something new!

Today, I’m sharing a fun Disappearing Pinwheel technique that turns one block into TWO stunning new designs. 🪄✂️

Start by making a pinwheel block.

  • You will need 2 sets of blocks of the same size to make 4 half square triangles.

  • Stack each set of blocks with the right sides facing each other.

  • Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner.

  • Stitch a line ¼”from both sides of the drawn line.

  • Cut along the drawn line to create 4 half square triangles.

  • Arrange the 4 half square triangles into a pinwheel. Stitch together using ¼” seam allowance.

  • Cut the pinwheel into 9 equal blocks

  • Rearrange the 9 blocks to form a new design

  • Sew blocks using ¼” seam allowance

 This is such a magical way to give your quilts a modern twist. Let me know which design you love more in the comments! 💬 And don’t forget to tag me @StraightStitching if you try it—I can’t wait to see your creations.
