Tessellating Pinwheels

This quilt was designed to be pieced with dies from my Accuquilt GO. I use the 4.5 inch half square and the 4.5 inch quarter square triangle dies. Here’s a link to the Rotary Cutting directions for those without the GO.

Or you can go completely scrappy and use many different fabrics in each block like I plan to do. Here’s a scrappy version of my EQ quilt.

    I really like the tessellating pinwheel pattern. Pinwheels are my faves.

    Could I get your EQ7 pattern. I really like paper piecing and I could print the foundations.

    Thanks for your help, and keep up the good work.

  3. I just came to your site via y/group of accuquiltquilters. I’m contemplating of getting a GO! and EQ7. Looking at your patterns and instructions here, I find them very useful. Thank you!

    Followed directions, but when I assembled blocks together to make rows the blocks didn’t match up. What did I do wrong?

    im not so great on the computer and wonder if you have a book I could purchase with all your great patterns? You really have some neat patterns – I’ve been sewing for over 50 yrs. and quilting about 30 yrs. and have seen many patterns in your collection that I would like to make.
