To make this easy quilt pattern, you will need 10″ squares. The first thing you need to do is make the pinwheel block. It is one of the most basic quilt blocks, and you probably already know how to sew one. All you need to do is make 4 half square triangles using the 10″ squares and form them into a pinwheel. Once you have the block, make 2 cuts, turn around the outside pieces, and you have the finished block. That’s how simple this free quilt pattern is.

How to Make Disappearing Pinwheel Quilt

Step 1:

Get one colored square and one background square. Place them on top of each other and sew all the way around the edge. Cut diagonally in both directions. Press them open to get 4 half-square triangles.

Step 2:

Arrange 4 HSTs into a pinwheel just like in the photo below. Make sure they are going in the same direction. Sew them together and press flat.

Step 3:

Get your ruler and place it 2 1/2″ out from the center seam and cut. Turn it around and repeat to the other side.

Step 4:

Arrange the three strips just like in the photo below by turning around the outside pieces. Sew them together to make the block. Press it flat and you have your block. It is going to be a rectangle block, not a square block.

Make 42 blocks. You need 7 rows with 6 blocks each. Make sure you put them side by side.
