Whirlpool Baby Quilt
Take a look at the Whirlpool quilt blocks and you'll see that they can be assembled in at least a couple of different ways:
- Each of the 16 squares in the block is a half-square triangle unit (HST), so this patchwork quilt can be sewn using only those units.
- Flying geese units can be used to eliminate the seams that result when HSTs are sewn side by side. We'll use the flying geese method.
The quilt is made using Whirlpool blocks in two different colorways. Change the colors to suit your theme.
