RBD Block Challenge Block 6; Windmill Quilt Block Pattern

Welcome to block 6 of the 2021 Riley Blake Block Challenge. This week I’m sharing a tutorial for the Windmill quilt block designed by Amy Smart.

Block 6 of the Riley Blake block challenge is a variation of a Pinwheel & Sawtooth Star quilt block designed by Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter. The block is quite simple to stitch up and comes together quickly thanks to Amy’s method for creating half-square triangle quilt blocks.

About the Quilt Block

I picked out the fabrics for my block and constructed it before realizing that the block was named “Windmill.” Given the name, I’m happy that I ended up creating it with tulip fabrics.

This block is the last block scheduled to be released in March. Next week will be a “catch up” week. The April blocks will then be released on Tuesdays beginning on April 6th.

I now have 6 blocks completed for my quilt and feel like I can see how the quilt is going to come together. Next month I’ll switch to 3-4 more prints from the Liberty Flower show collection.
