Yesterday at guild Mary T. showed us how to make a Disappearing Pinwheel block. I was so excited that I went home and made one. Then today I made 3 more of them. Here is a look at how to cut the large pinwheel into 9 equal sections.
I found some fun fabrics in my stash that seemed like a perfect option to make a large pillow for a granddaughter's March birthday. So I put together the 4 blocks and this week I'll see what size pillow forms I can find. That will determine whether I need to add a border around it first.

A gal just showed us that at our quilt guild too!!!
Everytime I see this block I feel the need to make some. I love the fabrics you've used xx
I'm in love! Those are great blocks. I have never seen this idea before. Great job.
The fabrics work perfectly for these blocks!
Very pretty, Mary
Nice star fabrics! I have the black one in my stash...

I saw the Disappearing Pnwheel on a MSQC video and immediately made three of them using the same fabrics but different color ways. lollll Love this pattern.
We call this a Churn Dash block. No idea why. Love your colours
I think disappearing nine patches are so fun!
Love it. My question when doing the 'disappearing' blocks is what dimensions to make them to get a specific block size in the end. Is ther a formula?
How fun ! (Found link on Pinterest).
I agree looks very much like a Churn Dash block. However the traditional Churn Dash has a plain centre square not a pinwheel, so maybe a very clever variation.
Thanks for the lovely pinwheel block. I’m always looking for something different. Quilting is my escape. I have been married for 60 years and now caring for my husband who doesn’t know me. Sewing keeps me sane.
