About This Tutorial

Finished Size: 78" x 78"

The Disappearing Pinwheel Illusion Quilt appears complex, with intricate piecing and stacked blocks. (Of course, it's all an illusion!) It's made with precut layer cake squares and a sweet cheater cloth print. Jenny's fabric is English Garden by Edyta Sitar for Andover Fabric, and her squaring tool is the trusty Bloc Loc. Learn how to make half-square triangles four-at-a-time and create those "stacked" blocks with ease.
