February Block Lotto Swap: Pinwheel Block

Wednesday January 31, 2007
pinwheel quiltJanuary's Block Lotto set records, with enough blocks for eight -- yes eight -- winning entries that will be drawn from the hat later today. February's block looks like it will be just as much fun, and it's every bit as easy to make. Our hostess has chosen a pinwheel block sewn in a monochromatic color scheme that coordinates with the 2007 Hoffman Challenge fabric. Join the fun online, or make a batch of blocks for yourself.

This is a great exchange block. When our small group used it for an exchange, some accidentally reversed the light/dark arrangement. Mixing the blocks will make you dizzy! No one wants to re-sew a bunch of blocks, so be sure to check before you assemble the blocks.
