QOV sew in day in Batavia, IL

I spent part of the day yesterday trying out a new block and packing all of the things to take to our QOV sew in.










I found the block and technique in this book.  The blocks get trimmed to size after sewing which works  well when you have a lot of different people making the blocks.

I haven't trimmed the sections for the second block but I wanted to show that you get both red and blue pinwheels when the blocks go together.  I think this is similar to the little twister blocks that you cut out of a large piece of patchwork with a template.  The edge of these blocks are on the straight of grain.
