Today we’re going to have fun with these two scrappy blocks: a star block and a pinwheel block.
Both can be made with fabric scraps.
How to make 2 scrappy fun blocks

My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.
- Order Turnabout Patchwork on Amazon
- Order Turnabout Patchwork directly from Martingale (e-book only)

Thanks for fixing the link. Love the star and would like to make it larger, even though 12” is a generous size. How would I go about doing that. Say I start with four charm squares since I have piles of them. Plus , I am a lazy quilter so I like to make things supersized. Stay safe. We have a huge problem here in the US so all we can do is stay home and keep busy. Laura

I love these two squares. Especially the one that looks like a wrapped gift. The red one. Would make a great Christmas quilt.
