Double Pinwheel Quilt Block Introduction

Finished Block Size: 12" x 12" square

The Double Pinwheel quilt block has sixteen units, eight half-square triangles and eight squares.

Use the colors shown in my illustrations as a guide to help you assemble the Double Pinwheel block, but choose any colors you wish. I made my center pinwheel a combination of dark blue and bright yellow. The pinwheel extensions are lighter versions of both colors.
