Chock-A-Block Wednesday

Windmills All Around

I'll be flying into Amsterdam

next week, so this block of

windmills seemed appropriate.

Fabric Requirements:

Fabric A: White print

16 - 2 1/2" squares

8 - 3 1/4" squares - Mark

a diagonal line on back.

Fabric B: Pink

8 - 3 1/4" squares

Fabric C: Purple

4 - 2 1/2" squares

Make Half Square Triangles:

Pair Fabric A & Fabric B 3 1/4"

squares with right sides together.

Sew 1/4" away from each side of

drawn line, cut on drawn line,

press to the Fabric B.

Square to 2 1/2".

Make Quarter Units:

Layout units as shown and sew

together in 3 rows.  Press seams

in rows 1 & 3 to the inside and

seams in row 2 to the outside.

Sew rows together and press

seams out.  Square to 6 1/2".

Make 4.

Assemble Block:

Layout units as shown and sew

together in 2 rows.  Press seam in

row 1 to the left and seam in row 2

to the right.

Sew rows together and press final

seam open to reduce bulk.

Square to 12 1/2".

This is what the quilt would

look like if you made it with

the block as shown.

But if you just change the colors

in the 6 1/2" squares a bit, you come

up with a completely different quilt.

It looks very complicated but it's

very easy!
