Revolving Pinwheel Block Tutorial
Welcome to the first block of this year’s block-of-the-month quilt along, Revolving Pinwheel. The blocks for this year’s quilt are fairly straightforward, consisting of half rectangle triangles (the lesser known sister of the half square triangle lol) and are assembled like a 9-patch. Every block is the same so you can reference this tutorial any… Continue reading Revolving Pinwheel Block Tutorial
BOM 2021 – Revolving Pinwheel
Welcome to Revolving Pinwheel – A block-of-the-month quilt along The block-of-the-month (BOM) quilt along for 2021 will look a little different than previous years.

Hindsight is 2020
When I named this year’s BOM, Hindsight is 2020, I had no idea what that could mean. As you lay out the blocks, look back on each one, reflecting on the challenges, complexity, accomplishments, and achievements of this quilt, but also of the past year in general. Every block is the same size so feel… Continue reading Hindsight is 2020
Hindsight – Block 12
The last block of this year’s block-of-the-month, Hindsight, is asymmetrical and original–truly one-of-a-kind. I hope you enjoy its unique abstract quality as much as I do. I think I saved the best for last … Start by sewing the two larger triangles together along the diagonal (notice the slight overhang at each end of the… Continue reading Hindsight – Block 12
Hindsight – Block 11
You’re a star! And so is Block 11 of this year’s block-of-the-month, Hindsight. Start by stacking two of the same coloured rectangles, right sides up, and cutting the diagonal top left to bottom right. Stack the other two same coloured rectangles, right sides up, and cut the diagonal top right to bottom left. It is… Continue reading Hindsight – Block 11
Hindsight – Block 10
Only three blocks remaining and to celebrate the hard work you’ve done, Block 10 is a repeat of Block 4. This year’s block-of-the-month has been full of challenging blocks so take this month as a little break. Click HERE to jump to the tutorial for Block 4, which will help you with Block 10.
Hindsight – Block 9
It’s my birthday month and Block 9 is one of my favourites from this year’s block-of-the-month, Hindsight. It reminds me of a compass–I hope yours is pointing you in the right direction. Feel free to share Block 9 on social media, tagging @justitch.ca, #bom2020, #hindsightquiltalong, #hindsightis2020 Start by stacking and cutting two rectangles along one… Continue reading Hindsight – Block 9
Hindsight – Block 8
Block 8 is another example of how plans on paper don’t always work out exactly as expected but with small modifications, I was able to achieve the design I wanted. Start by laying out three triangles in matching fabric with grey triangles in between: Sew the triangles together in pairs: Continue sewing pieces together until… Continue reading Hindsight – Block 8
Hindsight – Block 7
Over the halfway point, it’s time for Block 7. Start by sewing the rectangle to the top edge of the square. Then sew the smaller triangle (same fabric as the rectangle) to the right edge of the square: Trim the rectangle following the same line as the diagonal edge of the triangle: Lay the triangle… Continue reading Hindsight – Block 7
Hindsight – Block 6
Welcome to Block 6 of this year’s block-of-the-month, Hindsight. Start by stacking the three rectangles with right sides up. Then cut the diagonal top left to bottom right (if you cut the opposite diagonal you’re block will still work but will be the mirror image): Rearrange the triangles so that you have three unique pairings… Continue reading Hindsight – Block 6
