Strippy Set Pinwheels Quilt Pattern
Pinwheel (variation) quilt blocks are combined with Snowball blocks to create this strippy quilt. Blocks are sewn in vertical rows, and rows are separated by long strips of sashing. The quilt top is completed by adding two borders, narrow inner strips and wide outer strips.Strippy quilts can be made from rows of blocks sewn in horizontal rows, too, with a long strip of fabric (or patchwork) separating the rows -- no cornerstones are used. Try this quilt in a horizontal setting if you like, alternating blocks as shown. The number of blocks will likely differ, and yardages for sashing may, too.
Alter border sizes to vary the size of your quilt.

NOTE: Never cut all of your fabric before testing quilt blocks. That's a good guideline for any quilt pattern you encounter, because we're all capable of errors.
