FREE Stash Block Saturday: Pinwheel Variation

You can download the one page pdf and start making some Pinwheel Variation blocks. I do ask that you DO NOT print and distribute or share the digital file. You certainly can share the link to this blog post so your friends can get the pattern themselves. Thanks and have a great weekend.
