Whirligig
This pattern is my favorite type of quilt, one that looks super complicated, but is actually pretty simple to put together. There are literally are just nine steps to complete the entire block. I’ve made pot holders that are more complicated!
This course includes both the piecing and quilting tutorials for this quilt. A quilting only course is available at this link.
NOTE: This PDF pattern is required for this course. The pattern is available for $2 OFF through a link available in the supply list, which you will have access to after you enroll in the course. It will be available for download immediately after purchase.
When I looked at the bright colors in this collection, it just made me super cheery and reminded me of whirligig’s flying around in the garden. So I designed a pinwheel block with a small triangle in each corner.
We’re just making stitch-and-flip flying geese to make the block. Then when we put the quilt top together, we’ll leave some of the blocks sewn just into halves, that way the even rows can be offset, creating a really cool secondary design when the blocks are joined.
So super simple, easy to make, but looks like you spent months getting all those triangles in just the right spot.
