This months block is named 'Garden Pinwheel'. You will need a light and dark for the block... a scrap for the applique flower and yo-yo. I had to add the yo-yo, love them! You can also embellish your flower with a button, or both a yo-yo and button!
Trace flower on to heat n bond, iron on contrasting dark fabric scrap. |
Sew on the line.... |
Iron 'open' and then trim the cream excess so that the block measures 4 1/2" again, repeat on all 4 blocks. |
Trim excess fabric to a 1/4" seam... |
Lay the completed squares out as shown to form the pinwheel block. |
Sew the blocks together using a 1/4" seam. |
Make a yo-yo using a 30mm yo-yo maker or a 3" fabric circle. Attach to the center of the flower. I blanket stitched around my yo-yo. |
Garden Pinwheel 12 1/2" square (this includes seam allowance) |
