This week is not too difficult. Lots of half square triangles and a few squares. The half square triangles form pinwheels this week.
Our block
The original block
Start with watching this week's video.
I have used Michelle's MM100 templates to cut this weeks blocks

Full block
Sewing
Sew the 4 pinwheels together. Again, the video has some great tips re joining the blocks and then pinwheels
Sew the middle row of 5 squares together
Sew the 2 squares between the pinwheels together in the top and bottom row
Sew the pinwheels each side of the squares in the top row
Repeat in the bottom row
Sew the 3 rows together and you are done.
Background
To the top of this block sew a 10.5 inch square of background.
To the bottom of this block sew a rectangle of background 10.5 inches wide by 5.5 inches high.
It should look like this (yours will even be pressed LOL)
See you next week
