The layout on this page illustrates one simple arrangement for pinwheel blocks. The setting choices are endless.

Additional Block Sizes

Sew with different square or grid sizes to produce a variety of pinwheel block sizes; two light squares and two darks per block. Block sizes are finished sizes.

  • 1-7/8" squares produce 2" miniature blocks

  • 2-7/8" squares produce 4" miniature blocks

  • 3-7/8" squares produce 6" small blocks

  • 5-7/8" squares produce 10" blocks

  • 6-7/8" squared produce 12" blocks

  • 7-7/8" squares produce 14" blocks

Follow the same pattern to make even larger blocks
