Are you ready for the final round in the Medallion Quilt Along? Next month we'll have a link up and show off your creations. I'm so excited to see what you've come up with. This month's border is a pinwheel on point.
If your bow ties finish at 2" you will need 44 sets of the following. If your bow ties finish at 2 1/2" (I'm still kicking myself for that mistake. I've tried to fix it and I hope you didn't give up on me.) You will need 48 sets of the following.
From background 2- 3 7/8" squares and 1- 4 1/4" square. From prints 1- 4 1/4" square.
Cut your 3 7/8" background squares on diagonal once. Cut your 4 1/4" squares on diagonal twice as shown.
Place right sides together a background and print triangle from the 4 1/4" squares.
Sew along one of the right angle sides. Be consistent in which side you sew on with all your triangle sets.
Your unit should look like this.
Place a 3 7/8" triangle right sides with the previous unit and sew in place. Repeat with the matching 4 1/4" triangles and 3 7/8" triangle so that you have four of these units.
Trim dog ears and sew into pinwheel block.
Pop the center seam to reduce bulk and press. Make remaining pinwheels.
Arrange around your center. If you have 2" bow ties 10 pinwheels along top and bottom. Sew in place. 12 pinwheels along sides. Sew in place.
If you have 2 1/2" bow ties 11 pinwheels along top and bottom. Sew in place. 13 pinwheels along sides. Sew in place.
Let me know if you have any questions. Have fun! And be ready to show off your beautiful quilts next month. They don't need to be finished. A flimsy is fine.
