Workshop – Anita Hardison – Disappearing Pinwheel


DISAPPEARING PINWHEELS
To make a Table Runner approximately 40″ x 20″.
Supplies
FABRIC
½ m. of a light background fabric or two fat quarters. Or 8 – 9″ squares.
½ m. of med to dark focus fabric or two fat quarters. Or 8 – 9″ squares of one or more fabrics.
This is a great scrap buster if you like the look of scrap quilts.
You can cut 4 squares from one fat quarter. So. . 2 fat quarters each for background and/or focus would work here. (Keep the background light but it doesn’t have to all be the same if you are planning a scrap version.)
OR – YOU CAN USE 10″ PRECUT SQUARES. The project will be a little bigger and the math will be a little different.
OR – you can of course use yardage to cut your squares, either 9″ or 10″. You will need at least 21-22″ by WOF to cut 8 squares of the same fabric at 10″.
**I chose 9″ because it makes it easy to use fat quarters.
There is no need to do any prep work but if you desire you could precut your squares just to speed up the process.
To make this table runner you will need extra fabric for the binding and backing. Approximately 130″ binding.
TOOLS
18″ x 6″ ruler
12 ½” square rule with a diagonal line.
Scissors, rotary cutter with a sharp blade, sewing machine, machine needles and thread, Cutting mat.
You will be constructing 8 squares, cutting them up and rearranging them into 8 new squares. These will then be madeinto our table runner – or possibly 4 place mats. Or maybe you will be so entranced by the possibilities that you will go on making more and have a quilt top when you are done. That part will be up to you the designer.
