I received the pattern and it is constructed keeping the large rectangle as one piece and essentially "sashing" it with half of the pinwheel blocks. There is absolutely no directions at all as to how to keep your pinwheels all the same fabric so I can only think that the entire quilt would have to be put on a design wall before any pieces are sewn together.

It's a rail fence pattern.
The large rectangle is the center rail and is a solid single piece of fabric. The 2 outer rails are pieced--a smaller rectangle with a half square triangle square sewn to either end. The three rails would then be sewn together. The blocks would be set horizontal-vertical-horizontal etc. The outer blocks would require partial blocks to finish them, to make the pinwheels whole.

looks to me like if your pinwheel is say a 5" finished block, then you would need a 2 piece strip block that finished at 5" next to it and also below the pinwheel, and a 5" block next to that strip block. This makes the section a 4 block section.
Clear as mud right?? Maybe someone with a visual can help you. I can't draw it on my computer but I can see it in my minds eye.

I don't think this would be difficult to piece. Looks like 5" charm squares sewed into the pinwheels and then cutting 2 charms into 2.5 x 5 inches and then a piece that fits in, maybe 9 inches ? Hope you find the pattern.

How about breaking it up as 3 vertical rows? Then you could keep the center one continuous piece. I think either way it would work and look good. Will look forward to seeing your finished quilt.
