Star or Pinwheel?

Quote for Today

"For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream."

Turning Stars Quilt Block

Given the colours I chose for this quilt block, I should have featured it at Easter time. But, here it is now, just in time for some lovely spring weather. (Easter and springtime go together, right?)

The Turning Stars quilt block is an easy block to construct as it is a four patch, which often means less seams to sew. It can also be a learning experience for new quilters, because  it uses several quarter square triangles in each of the four quadrants.

Now, who is with me on this ... shouldn't this quilt block name have the word pinwheel in it rather than stars? Just sayin'.
