About Summer Pinwheels

This is the one we reach for when the request is bright. Summer Pinwheels keeps it simple, which is why it sits here rather than in the reserve pile. There are no reviews on it yet, so judge it by the preview and not by a score that does not exist. Only 58 people have saved it so far, so this is our pick rather than the crowd's. It is SleepingCatCreations's work.

If you want one use for it, take fun: that is the direction the designer clearly had in mind, and it is the one we would follow. A quilt pattern should tell you the block size and the fabric requirements in one place — if you have to work them out yourself, cutting errors follow. The licence tab and the full-size preview are the whole of our due diligence here, and they take about a minute between them.

It answers to quilt, quilt pattern, small and summer, and that spread of wording is worth noting: a file tagged this consistently usually behaves the way the preview suggests. We filed it under Quilt and Applique Patterns for the obvious reason, and the shelf is small enough to read end to end. The wording people arrive with is quilt patterns, rag quilt, puff quilt and quilt block patterns free, and we would rather shelve for those requests than for how a thumbnail looks in a grid. People after this usually search patchwork, mug rug, applique and block too, and the shelf is sorted so those all land in the same place.

How to use this pattern

  1. Download the files from Creative Fabrica and unzip them into one folder.
  2. Print the pattern sheets at 100% — no scaling, no «fit to page» — and check the test square with a ruler before you cut anything.
  3. Tape the sheets together on the printed match marks, then cut the pieces out and keep the instruction sheet next to your machine.
  4. Sew a quick version in cheap fabric first if the shape is new to you; the second one is always the one you keep.

Drills, not a project, and that is the right way to learn free-motion. Ten minutes of tracing before you touch the quilt saves the whole top.…
