2019 Gypsy Wife - Section 5 - Bordered Pinwheel

Cutting directions for this bordered pinwheel block can be found on page 19 of the pattern book, left hand column.

 We have made half square triangles before.... I have chosen to use only two fabrics rather than a variety which would result in a more scrappy pinwheel.

Cut your squares then cut them diagonally and pair them. 
Stitch them together, press and lay out your pinwheel, being careful to watch the direction of the triangles.

  

Stitch the top two then the bottom two HSTs together. Then join the two halves to form the pinwheel block.

       

You can spin the center of the pinwheel to help the block lay flatter.

I laid out the border strips around the block.

Stitch on the top and bottom strips.... then the two side strips to complete the block.
