Quilt Pattern: Windmill and Outline

Of course this is only the windmill part of the sketched quilt, but so many
people have sets of embroidered quilt blocks that we thought this a clever and
welcome suggestion for putting them together. Usually just plain blocks are
used for this purpose, depending on quilting to add the interest necessary.
This windmill is particularly adapted to use in a juvenile quilt as it effects
a quaint pattern much like those pin wheel windmills which children love.
A strip is sewed onto a triangle as shown at the bottom of pattern, then 4
triangles make the block, all straight sewing in spite of the staggered effect
when finished.
Material Estimate: This pattern does not allow for seams, so
they should be added to the sizes given. The block finishes 9 1/2 inches square
or 12 1/2 inches on the diagonal. Your quilt requires 42 plain unbleached
quilted blocks set together diagonally with 30 whole pieced blocks, 22 half
blocks and 4 quarter blocks. If made 6 blocks wide by 7 blocks long, it will
finish about 75 by 87 inches. This will require 2 1/2 yards of blue and 5 yards
of unbleached, a total of 7 1/2 yards of material.
