PRE-CUT Fabric pieces :
-FIRST *bright print cut FOUR 5”X5” charms

-THIRD *bright print cut FOUR 5”X5” charms

-FOURTH *bright print cut FOUR 5”X5” charms

-WHITE or tone-on-tone white PRINT cut SIXTEEN 5”X5” charms INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Pair up one bright print charm to one white charm (right sides together)

2. Do this with all the PRE-CUT fabric

3. Make half square triangles from each of these pairs

a. With each pair right sides together, draw a diagonal line from the upper left corner to the lower right corner (draw line on the wrong side of fabric so it won’t show when done)

b. Stitch ¼” on either side of the drawn line

c. Cut on the drawn line which will give you 2 half square triangles from each pair

d. Press towards the dark side the half-square-triangles (HST’s) and square up to 4 ½”

e. You should end up with 32 HST’S (8 of each bright print)

1. Take 4 matching HST’s and stitch them together to form the pinwheels. You should end up with EIGHT PERKY PINWHEELS – 2 from each of the four prints.

2. Keep one of each different print PERKY PINWHEEL for yourself and send one of each to your partner so they will also get 4 completed PINWHEELS.

*BRIGHT print fabrics: For these PERKY PINWHEELS use bright and colorful novelty prints, 1930’s prints, unusual prints, anything that says “PERKY” to you. Avoid browns, blacks, grays as the main colors, but a little of these colors will be fine.
