Square Dance Quilt Technique

The quilt I am currently piecing, or quilting, is usually my favorite, but this quilt was the most fun I have ever pieced, hands down!

Initially, I had seen a picture of this pinwheel pattern.  I had the idea it was made from a square placed over four blocks and recut.  I got to work and figured it out using newspaper.  I didn’t know that there was a book and template already!

 

This is a book that I have since purchased that shows lots of variations beyond the simple version I made.

Square Dance by Martha Thompson.  The link is to a second edition.  I wonder if there are more/newer designs in it?!

You can check out my blog where I detailed the process of making this quilt with pictures, if you like.  It was sooooooo fun to assemble!   ~ Robbie
