Block of the Month Series

November  - BOM #7
 

This "Pinwheel" block is listed in Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns as block #1121 as a Ruth Finley block (and later as "Paper Pinwheels by Nancy Page). This is an easy block to make with the simple "add on triangle corner" method. I've shown a way to make the block without resorting to using 16 individual squares. No paper piecing is needed for this block.      

• Here for pattern for the Block
  (no paper piecing this time - use half square triangles or "quick corner triangle piecing")
  
  

• Here are 10 sample Quilt top layouts 
  using BOM#7 in many different colorations
