How to Make a Broken Wheel Quilt Block:
Step 1
Cut the light print fabric for the corner into 4.5 inches, then cut 4 dark print fabrics into squares at 2.5 inches, and line the small squares at the back diagonally from corner to corner. Place one small square on the top corner of the larger square with their right sides facing, then put another square on the opposite bottom corner, and stitch them along the line. Cut ¼ inch away from the stitching line, press the seams toward the darker fabric, and repeat the same steps on the remaining empty corners. Make 3 more of this block unit for a total of 4.
Step 2
Next, cut the print fabric for the center at 4.5 inches, then cut 2 contrasting strips into 2.5×19 inches, and stitch them together. Subcut the strip unit into 4 pieces at 4.5 inches wide, lay the center fabric on your work surface, and put the strip units around the sides. Finally, place the diamond quilt block on the corners, stitch them one at a time, and press the seams.
