Disappearing Pinwheel Quilt Block – Double Pinwheel

Grab two squares and let’s sew up a super simple and cute quilt block! The disappearing pinwheel starts off as a pinwheel and then with some shuffling and cutting, it becomes a double pinwheel (with a pinwheel in the center).

Materials needed:

2 squares that are equal in size

I used two squares that are 10″ x 10″ one background, one color / print fabric

*Fabric used is Michael Miller – All American – check out all the fun prints here!
