3D Pinwheel Quilt Block Tutorial

[@patriciaberne613]

Nice and clear! Thanks, Vanessa. I watched another tutorial on preparing a 3D pinwheel, and it was certainly not like yours. Thank you for carefully explaining everything! Pat Berne

[@deosaranramharack2502]

I am new to quilting, love your block. I also love the sun scenery quilt on your wall. Thank you for sharing.

[@karengarland9669]

Love how she is so clear on directions and repeats herself for our benefit. Love it :)

[@robinluther3617]

Once more, another simple to follow tutorial. Made a pillow slipcover using your tutorial and layer cakes.

[@pmillerwaxia1958]

Enjoyed the tutorial. I love your new "Studio". The overhead and side shots are great not that your old tutorials were not enjoyable, but you are more at ease because you don't have to do the filming. So happy for all of your accomplishments, Vanessa!

[@lindamarkovich1070]

I love these pinwheel blocks! You are a fantastic instructor!

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Linda Markovich Thank you!

[@Jake92574]

Linda Markovich I agree! One of the cutest blocks and looks super easy. If I don't forget to turn them all in the right direction. ha. Thanks!

[@juliebruzas1406]

I just bought my first sewing machine at 55. I've never sewn before and will admit to being nervous. Your lessons are fantastic! I think I can do this! Thanks for offering this for newbies like me.

[@jennybaker5713]

I would love to see tutorial also for wall hanging right behind you! I 'm planning to do the 3D pinwheel half the size and sew a ribbon on to make a small tree ornament and maybe a matching throw pillow!

[@tarawhite6]

I love your new studio, your tutorials are so helpful. Oh! I love you Jamberry wraps :)

[@ronnieskinner3953]

Can't wait to try it. Super cute!

[@WhateverHunterLiz]

These are so cute! I’m going to make this for a baby quilt.

[@suz1848]

I love this block!! I have already made 4 samples. I will be showing them at one of my quilt meetings and giving them my written instructions, giving credit to Crafty Gemini.

[@stitchnmouse]

Really really cute and your instructions are excellent and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@Retired-l7i]

Once again a great tutorial! I will make a table runner with sashing blocks in between!

[@amelirachelmcqueen]

I have some really cute charm packs just waiting to be made into a baby quilt. I love the 3-D concept in this block!! And no cutting??? LOVE IT. Thanks Vanessa for always giving good tutorials. (I think you showing the mistake will save me from time w/ my seam ripper, too!!!)

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Amy McQueen No problem! Glad to help! I know some people will still make the mistake but wanted to show the visual so you understand why and how it will look if it's not consistent. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@melindasimms599]

Wow. I made one of these blocks and because of your awesome teaching skills it turned out fantastic. If it had not been for your instructions on how things could wrong , I surely would have messed things up. I wish I could post a picture of the block I made.

[@gabriellapettit7655]

Love this block! I see a pillow for my great-niece from the charm pack she chose last visit! 👍🏼

[@mayshackme]

Just watched this. Was thinking it would be to amazing in Black/red or in purples / greens. Love this one. Thank you

[@annwitten4359]

I Love this! I bought a charm pack of Kona solids a few years ago and have never figured out what in the world to do with them. They would be so cute with a plain white or light color background- a super cute baby doll blankie for my niece! Thank you do much, Vanessa! Also, my birthday was this past Tuesday, June 9th- Gemini's Rock!

[@zakiyyahtanzil8477]

Absolutely adorable block. I Luv LUV yo tutorials. Thanx 4 sharing your creativity.

[@perriannkaufman5864]

Very nice. I think this might make a fun baby quilt also.

[@sohnemuller]

You're so smart thank you I can't wait to make this love your videos

[@Janna1949]

I love this, Vanessa! Thanks so much!!

[@lizzyanthus1]

Such a cute block, thanks! Love how easy it is too, especially if using the 5 inch charm squares. I love it with the sashing as well.

[@brigittar1130]

Thank you Vanessa! Love your tutorials.

[@MelanieHam]

super cute block!

[@tammysoto3019]

Girl, you are talented!

[@frances7885]

great tips on bulky sewing. Another from Karen Black of "Just get it done Quilts," a couple folds of fabric as a bumper to hold the back of the pressor foot while sewing up to thicker folds helps getting over the humps.

[@pamelacasey1699]

Love your tutorials Vanessa!

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Pamela Casey Thank you! I'm trying to make them better! :)

[@allergiesrusdb]

I love this block! Thanks!

[@melodyn2music]

love love...gonna try this for sure! Keep up the good work!

[@elainemoulson2578]

Fabulous and nice and easy. For me as I am a beginner.

[@buntysvintageemporium3632]

Love this and your cute wee iron

[@lindajacobs1487]

I'm going to try this with a solid black background and bright prints for the "wheels".

[@lsa7ada123]

Definitely making this into a quilt.

[@jimmorgan6819]

great block, looks easy enough to do but I will only work with solids as the back ground and prints as the pinwheel using prints for both is way to busy and looses some of it flare

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

YOU EXPLAIN EACH STEP WITH GEAT DETAIL AS THE VERY BEST INSTRUCTORS DO!

[@jennav523]

Awesome!!! Love it!

[@Adrianne1976]

I Love easy Blocks :)

[@jazmine0224]

hello i loved making these pinwheels if u let everyone know that if you press your seems open it will reduce that bulk and they lay nicely this was a fun block to make

[@lauradepazcabrera5601]

Your nails look awesome!! :)

[@jeansandlan2842]

is this pinwheel quilt blocks suitable for a full size quilt?

[@Blossom552]

This is so stinking cute!! Where did you get the mini iron and board?

[@AudreyAL6]

i love this going to try it

[@lindacreech3413]

Crafty Gemini. Live this block. Can you do a big quilt with this block and how would you quilt it

[@gloriagreen-ridley9160]

interesting, looks like fun.

[@tressiecarter3811]

Hi Vanessa I love your tutorials please keep them coming. Is there anyway you can do a tutorial on making a quilt from uncut fat quarters? I have some fat quarters I can't cut lol!! And also how to sash a quilt??

[@babescraftroom]

Question?? Why can't you just pin the fabric then sew it all at once so you don't have all that bulk? And it takes two steps out and goes faster? i am all about time. lol.. love the block and you too..

[@kathiefleming2830]

You are a great instructor believe me. This project needs to have more fabric contrast to make it visually worth the effort of making. If I can't really notice the pinwheel, what difference does it make if it is 3d?

[@susanchase7880]

Kathie Fleming This would make a a good quilt for a young child... The 3d isn't for the looking, it is tactile for the child to feel and play with.. Would make a make a better pillow for a little one......

[@kathiefleming2830]

susan chase thanks for the clarification.

[@lynnrochard9888]

Just finished this super fun, easy block! Will post photo soon. Thanks Vanessa for another creative idea that can be put to practical use if wanted! ~Montana Lynn

[@mariagoumas6135]

I love it!!! I I want to try to make this n for baby due in Dec from church!! I don't know how to match the color etc.. Any idea baby cold fabrics ??

[@chrisditomasso4538]

I notice you never use a walking foot in your tutorial. How do you manage when using fleece batting and expecially when you double it??

[@janeterikson9950]

Do you still use your Voyager 17?

[@mariannehill4440]

I cannot find a tutorial that i enjoyed, can u help. The tutor used two or three blocks, she moved them around on the design wall to completely change the design, it was quite wonderful. I dont know the name of the tutor or the site, hope you can help, thank you in advance

[@lindajacobs1487]

Marianne Hill, try searching for disappearing 4 patch, 9 patch or hourglass.You can also just put disappearing in the search box on youtube.comTry Jenny Doan Quilting Tutorials. You can also try Crafty Gemini. You can even just put in "quilting tutorials". Just be prepared to spend the day!

[@jeansandlan2842]

I just love your video's! question is, would this pinwheel blocks be suitable for a fun or queen size quilt? thank you in advance for your response

[@ynkapilier9076]

Hola! Vanessa me encantas pero tengo una pregunta cada vez que quiero empezar un Quilt no se por donde empezar soy primerisa gracias😳😁

[@trudythomas5036]

WOW! love this! on my to do list.. Thanks Vanessa

[@sallyf2969]

Great tutorial, a little fast speaking but once you get into her speed it's easier. Love the Juki you are using, how do you get the foot pedal to reach to where you can stand? I am stretching my leg just to get it to reach under the table. :)

[@janejohnson2004]

Cute project!! Do you back stitch when you are sewing the blocks together?

[@jeansandlan2842]

meant to say full lol
