Its perfect for beginners or if you just want something that can be finished in an hour or so.
Check the video below for more layout options for this block.
Step 2:
Arrange the blocks.
Get one red-white HST the red triangle should be on the bottom left.
Place one blue-white HST beside it with the blue triangle still in the left corner.
Next, place another red-white HST on the bottom of the first red-white HST.
The red triangles should connect to form a diamond.
Do the same with the remaining blue-white HST.
Both diamonds should slant to the left.
Sew them together in diamonds first, then after that, sew them together to create a harlequin block.
Step 3:
Arrange four harlequin blocks with blue corners to the center.
Sew them together and flatten them to make a pinwheel star motif.
When you sew the multiple motifs together, the red pinwheel starts to emerge.
