How to Make a 3-D Pinwheel Quilt Block

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Sunday, May/19/2024

1). Cut eight squares of equal size.
2). Fold four of the squares into triangles by folding diagonally in half, wrong side together. Then fold them in half again. Heat-set the triangles with an iron.
3). Sandwich the raw edge of the triangle between two of the remaining squares. Line up the raw edges so they are flush. Pin the seam and stitch it with a quarter-inch seam allowance.
4). Repeat this with the second triangle and the remaining two squares.
5). Open the square-triangle pairs and press the seams to the right.
6). Pin the two square-triangles pairs together, sandwiching the remaining two triangles in the seam. Make sure the tips of the triangles touch in the center when you sew the square-triangle pairs together, so your pinwheel meets in the middle of the block when the block is finished.
7). Open the block and press the seams to the right.
