windmill- a four patch block



Made from whole squares and half square triangles this is next up from a beginners block.  The half square triangles should be squared up after piecing to match the whole squares.  It also uses eight half square triangles in each block so it is an ideal candidate for using the "easy eight" method to make eight half square triangles at a time.  
If the blocks are mounted edge to edge then a pattern of interlocking pinwheels and four patches is formed.  If you use sashing with corner stones and sashing strips you end up with interlocking nine patches and windmills.
