This month's Classic Quilt Block is a block that's very near and dear to me. I have a soft spot for the simple Pinwheel block and I just love how sweet and delicate it looks in quilt designs. It's a dainty quilt block that's easy to sew and it can be used in many ways.

Last week I introduced the gorgeous Log Cabin as my Classic Quilt Block for September and today I'm going to show you how to make one. It's a fun and easy block to sew, but there's quite a few pieces so I thought it would be best to use diagrams for this tutorial to make it clearer and easier to follow along - plus the weather is so unpredictable and the light for taking photo's can be very frustrating.
