Easy Half Square Triangle Tutorial

 Here is a mini picture tutorial of how to make the pinwheels.  Start with the squares in whatever size you'd like :)  These are 8" squares from my Modern Quilt Guild swap.  They make a 10" pinwheel.

 You are going to need a contrasting fabric cut into the same size squares.

 Next, place a white one with a print one together, right sides together.

 Sew around all four sides with a 1/4" seam.

 Then cut from corner to corner one way....

 And without moving the square, cut the other way, corner to corner.

 Ta da!!

 Now you have a bunch of cute triangles :)

 Press toward the print... or the white, just press them all the same way :)

 Now for trimming the little dog ears...

 Lay them out.... be sure that you sew the blocks all in the same direction... trust me, it matters ;D

 Take care to match all of your points and seams :)

  Here are my cute rows...

Here is the top all sewn and bunched up :)

The top is basted.

The back... ..yes!  That is a GIANT pinwheel :)

Quilting....

I have a little bit more quilting to do tomorrow....  stay tuned :D
