    This is my first block (12" x 12")
    I had a very good teacher (my wife) Using my wifes new template set and following the instructions to the letter, I managed to get a good result. I admit I had to unpick some stitching a couple of times but I was happy with the points.
    It took me around an hour to finish.

    You did a fantastic job! Will this be part of a quilt? The colors are awesome.

    The pattern is part of a template set "The Westalee Pinwheel Block Set" it is a set of templates (8) that can make more than 80 different block designs
    My wife has just finished a book that compliments the set

    Unforunately I made it from my wife stash and it is a discontinued fabric line here in Australia. I made the block to test my wifes pattern
