Midnight Pinwheel

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Midnight Pinwheel quilt block is a five patch block (so named because it is designed on a 5 x 5 grid) containing squares, half square triangles and flying geese patches.

Rather than construct the block as five rows of five patches, I prefer to sew it as an uneven nine patch for the simple reason that I like to work with "chunks" rather than in rows. However, do not let my method sway you. Choose your favourite sewing method to construct this very pretty block.
