Fireworks Pinwheel

Block by Cath of Wombat Quilts wombatquilts.com 

This 12-inch (finished size) block is a variation of a classic pinwheel block design, using paper-piecing. The pinwheel block first appeared in pioneer quilting of the late 1700s. The design was inspired by windmills on farms and in small towns. Instructions for two similar rotary-cut blocks are also included.
