Home Sweet Home Quilt Along – Pinwheel Trees Sashing Tutorial

July 9, 2012 by persimondreams Leave a Comment

Happy Sunday evening everyone!  It’s not quite as hot in Poynette as it was for the last 10 days but I’ll admit – I’m still hot.

I just turned the AC back on though so hopefully I’ll cool down soon.  I told you earlier today we’d be using my pinwheel tutorial again soon – and I wasn’t kidding!  Soon is actually NOW!  I’m going to show you two different sashing options using the pinwheel block and one other easy technique. 

43. Tall Pinwheel Trees

a Tutorial for the Home Sweet Home Quilt Along

Fabrics:

018For the Pinwheels:

2 – 2.5” x 2.5” square dark

2 – 2.5” x 2.5” squares light

For the Trunk:

1 – 1” x 9.5” dark

2- 1.75” x 9.5” light

Directions:

Create a 3.5” square pinwheel as shown in the Spinning Pinwheel Tutorial from earlier today.

Then take the two light fabrics and sew them to either side of the dark fabric to create the ‘trunk’ for the sashing tree.  Sew the short end of the tree piece to the pinwheel.  You now have a fantastic Tall Pinwheel Tree Sashing.

 

9.  Spinning Trees

Fabrics:

015

For the Pinwheel:

2 – 2.5” x 2.5” square dark

2 – 2.5” x 2.5” squares light

For the Trunk:

1 – 5.5” x 1” dark

1 – 5.5” x 2.00” light

1 – 5.5”  x 1.5” light

For the Sky:

1 – 3.5” x 4.5” light (same as light in pinwheel)

Directions:

Create a 3.5” square pinwheel as shown in the Spinning Pinwheel Tutorial from earlier today.

Then take the two light Trunk fabrics and sew them to either side of the ‘Trunk’ dark fabric to create the ‘trunk’ for the sashing tree. Sew the short end of the tree piece to the pinwheel.  Sew the ‘Sky’ fabric to the other side of the pinwheel to create a 3.5” x 12.5” sashing.

You now have two great new ideas for sashings OR just two more sashings for your Home Sweet Home Quilt.
