- I am Brita Nelson the Questioning Quilter (questioningquilter.com)
The quilt here is 40.5" X 40.5" and is made of thirty-six 6 3/4" finished blocks.
If using layer cakes, you will need 9 green, 9 colorful and 18 White layer cakes ( 10" X 10").
If using charms you will need 72 green charms, 72 colorful charms (you will need 2 light and 2 dark charms of the same color to make 1 pinwheel).
If using yardage, you will need 1 1/3 yard of green and 1 1/3 yard of another fabric for the flower and 2 2/3 yard of white or very light. These measurements don't include binding or backing.
If you want to make this quilt with different sized Half Square Triangle blocks, I have a chart with all the measurements here: questioningquilter.com/chart
To get a .pdf version of this pattern, sign up for my newsletter on any page of my website (questioningquilter.com). After you submit the form, you will get a confirmation email with a link to the newsletter archive. On the newsletter archive page, this will be in the February 2022 issue.
This quilt is made with two different disappearing pinwheel blocks (variations on the friendship start) put together. I am curious if you would like to see the other two variations of the friendship star, if you are ready to try some quilts that utilize positive and negative designs or mirror images of the same block, or just keep to simple one block designs. Please let me know.
If you decide to make this quilt, I would love to see how it comes out. You can email a picture to me or share it with me on Facebook or Instagram.

My opinion is ,,, What ever you Do , Is always beautiful ❤
Now you are just making me blush. 🥰🥰
All these wonderful comments have made my day!!!
What's not to LOVE ?? Pinwheels and Friendship Stars are always good !!!!! ✌🏻♥️
So happy that you like it.
I want it all! Simple, yes, please. Variation of 2 blocks? Yes, please. More interesting? Yes, please. More content! I enjoy the twisting and the Aiyiyi! Why didn't I think of that? But my advantage of watching you is reach. I don't have a channel, and I am happy to watch you. 😊 Thanks for more!
LOL! A woman after my heart, you want it all. I guess I better get busy. I wish I had time to make more than 1 per month, but I am doing the best I can. My hardest decision now, is what to make next.
I listen to my viewers and want to keep you happy. My next video is going to be some sort of disappearing 9 -Patch (or an unusual variation), based on viewer requests. Based on these requests, April is going to be a little more complex. Hope you like it. 😁
I wish you could hear me SCREAMING when you turned that row into a full pinwheel!!!
LOL. You made me laugh imagining you watching the video. Thanks so very much!
Brita I just love your videos. So I’m game for whatever you decide, simple or complex. But what I would love is that you make it a series…. Like complex disappearing #1,#2 etc. Thanks!!
I was thinking, that if people want more complex I would slowly increase the complexity, the first one showing positive and negative images, then moving on to mirror image blocks.
I am not sure about what you mean by making them a series. Do you mean that I should label it differently than the ones I am doing now? I am afraid that if I put a number on the title of the quilt, it might stop someone from clicking on the thumbnail. Can you give me a little more information about what you mean. You can answer here, or email me. I take the comments by my viewer very seriously. You are the reason I am doing this.
@@QuestioningQuilter thank you my dear I will send you an email this weekend!
You're a whiz with your talent! Thank you for sharing.
You are too kind. Thanks for watching.
Thanx for exploring the opportunities, so that I don’t have to. Keep ‘‘em coming. 👍
As long as kind people like you keep telling me that you like them, I will keep making them. Thanks!!!!
Watching the last four minutes again and oooohhhh and aaawwwing.
You are making me smile!!!
Brita, the more you do, the more I love it! Throw in as any variations as you can. This is fantastic, as always!
Thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback.
You’re doing great! You never fail to please.
You're the best!
I'm new here and what caught my attention was how you presented so many variations with the blocks you made. I'll be back for more! Thank you!
Welcome! I am so glad that you found me. I am happy to know that you like all the variations. Thanks so much!
I love your enthusiasm! Your joy is contagious & I can't wait to try these
I do hope that you try them. I would love to see a picture if you do.
Brita@questioningquilter.com
Britt, I love them all - easy, variations - whatever you have. DO NOT STOP. You are so talented and amazing.
You are too kind. Thanks so much for the vote of confidence. This support really keeps me going.
Very clear description of how to rearrange the pieces.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.
Oh my goodness 😮. Love your disappearing pinwheel patterns ❤
I am very happy that you love them. I do too.
I love having you show some other variations of the block...Thanks Brita!
Glad you like it! Thanks so much!
All the above! Do them all. Love watching!
All of the above! Of course! I guess I better get busy. 😄😄😄
FYI for the future... I love seeing ALL the options!
I will be sure to include them. Thanks so much for letting me know.
Another great quilt video. I bet the day lily blocks would look great on point.
I think you are right. I love that you came up with that idea. Thanks so much for sharing it.
I'm new to quilting, so whether you keep making single blocks, or you make multiple blocks, doesn't matter to me at this point.... what I appreciate most is that you make so many versions! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the feedback. It is good to know that you like seeing all the different versions.
Variety is the spice of life. Yes, I would like to see all that you have to offer.. Keep up the great videos!
You got it! Thanks for the support.
Brita...I think you are SUPER!!! Thank you for sharing this
You are so very kind!! I am happy to hear that you like these!!
I’m so glad Jenny Doan of Missouri store. Quilt introduced me to your website. Wow you are certainly productive and certainly creative. Hope to see more of you from past TH-cam videos to new ones in the future. Stay well.
I am happy that you found me. Jenny Doan is so sweet. I hope that you enjoy my videos.
Thank you so much. It is such a pleasure to see intricate looking designs that are made using the humble HST.
I think the humble HST should get a promotion based on how many things it can do. 😉😂😂
I love that you are willing to give us more options. I agree with others, more options/variations and more complexity. By seeing what you are doing I gain confidence to try some things myself.
Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely keep showing the variations. I am working on the block for this month and it will either show mirror image, or positive and negative designs. I thought I had a design I liked, but them my family all said it was boring. Yikes! Back to the drawing board.
Wow. I'm always amazed at the combinations you come up with.
It's a beautiful flower quilt.
I love all your designs and your infectious enthusiasm. Another winner.❤️ thank you for designing it.
Thank you so much for the kind words. It really makes my day to hear how much you enjoy it.
I want it all. Your work is fascinating It's like a magic show.
I feel the same way. I give a lecture to quilt guilds and I call it: Now You See It, Now You Don't. The Magic of Disappearing Quilts.
Keep
Going!! I love all your videos. When you show them in different color ways at the end…. Amazing! I’ll watch everything
Thanks so much for the support. I really appreciate it.
Oh definitely switch it up, I like exploring the possibilities.
Will do! Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Love this block. You are a great teacher! Thank you
You are so sweet. Thank you very much.
Love all of the variations that you shared!
This makes me very happy to hear.
I like the flowers and vines. Beautiful!
Thank you so much.
love watching your videos!
Thank you so much! l love hearing from you!
Love Love Love your patterns.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You just showed up on my feed. Love it!! Can't wait to see more!!!
I am so happy that you found me. Thanks for taking the time to say Hi.
Love your teaching method.
I'm so glad! Thanks so much for the reassurance.
I am in love with your videos! I would like the simple👍, the interesting 👍 and everything in between! I’m just soaking up the knowledge you are sharing.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I am so happy that you like all of them.
Whirligig alone surprised me - it makes an Interesting quilt.
Would love to see all your ideas, simple and more complex 🙂
That one of the best things about these blocks is seeing what happens when you put them together. Sometimes it feels like an easter egg hunt when a block that doesn't look like anything comes together to make something beautiful.
I'd love to see them all! Simple and complex.
I guess I had better get busy then.
Lady, you are amazing like your quilts 😁
Now you are just making me blush! 😊😊🥰🥰
Once again, you’ve done a great explanation of how to build your quilt! I’m not a fan of using eighth measurements, but your beautiful quilts are pushing me out of my comfort zone. Yes to all your offerings! I’ll watch them all💕
I am so happy that you like the videos. I understand about the 1/8" measurements but in order to use a charm pack or layer cake that is what is necessary to make the sub-blocks perfectly square.
You can use different sized HST Blocks (see the chart on my website: questioningquilter.com/chart/) so that the cutting measurement are easier. For example if you start with 6 3/4" squares, turned into HST Blocks trimmed to 6 1/4". You would cut 2" from the center seam and end up with a block that is 11" unfinished and 10 1/2" finished. This quilt would then be 63" X 63".
Thanks for watching.
I would be interested in a little of both. Simple is great for us newbies, but eventually we'll get more confidence and want to try the more complex. I look forward to your videos! I've watched them all so far! I'm wanting to try them all! 🙂 Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!
A little of both it is. The quilts so far have been very simple. Hopefully I can start making some of them a little more complex. This design was a test to see if two different blocks in one quilt would cause a problem. It seems like you are up to the challenge! Thanks for giving me this feedback.
@@QuestioningQuilter I'm happy to have provided input! Looking forward to the next video!! 🙂
@@abhelix Now I just have to figure out what I pattern I want to make for next month. 😁😁😁
BEAUTIFUL! 😍😍😍Thank you for sharing. 😊⛄❄
You are so welcome! 🥰🥰🥰
Goodness gracious! Another fabulous block. I loved the very first QOV variation. As for what I would like to see with the friendship star I'll watch whatever you throw at us 🥰
Thank you so much for the vote of confidence.
I just discovered your videos today and I think I went to quilters heaven. Binging on them now. I thought the designs looked so difficult but they are not! I love how you give variations at the end of each one. Can't wait to get started!
Woot Woot! Quilters Heaven, where your needle never breaks and all your seams are straight. The thing that I love best about the disappearing blocks is how easy it is to get a complicated looking block. I am so glad that you like them. I would love to see whatever you make.
🤩🙏 another great video & design - you’re very talented- thx again!
Thanks so much! This make me smile.
Fascinated by your choices of putting pieces together! And yes please, more!, more!. I notice video quality getting better and better. I would suggest you select medium solid for you, so you don't compete with quilt. Make that your 'look'. You are a lovely woman, open and honest face, could watch you teach for many hours!
Thank you so much for the feedback. I have been working hard to increase the production quality. Except for some technical support by my son, I have been doing all this by myself in my spare room. I am really learning as I go. Thank you so much for commenting on this. It has been a lot of work and the appreciation really makes me feel good.
What to wear is always a question. When I wear solid, or near solid colors some people comment that it is too dull. LOL Right now I am just going through my closet trying not to wear the same thing twice. Hopefully winter is almost over and I have a few nice blouses to wear for the summer.
Want it all!!!
A woman after my own heart.
Wonder woman, that's what you are. Answer to THE BOOK - it will never be complete, judging by the videos. I am making my own THE BOOK on my printer and with a 3 ring notebook, and document protectors. Good feelings for quilting, here we are.
LOL. Thanks so much!
You came up in my recommendations today, and I just love your quilts! Easy to do, and look complicated. I have subscribed🎉
I am so very happy that you found my channel. I am always excited to find someone who loves the disappearing quilts as much as I do. Thanks so much for subscribing. I hope that you enjoy my other videos.
Brita
It's just so beautiful.
Thank you so much!!! 😊😊🥰🥰
Wow, I's hooked on the disappearing blocks, long before I got this to do for my teaching sample for to be a teacher for the German Patchwork Guild. And I really love your tutorials. You are always coming up with new, fresh ideas. Well done and what ever you come up with would be great. Greetings from DE 🥰
Hi Again Peggy! It is always great to hear from you. I hope that you have the opportunity to teach some of my blocks. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. Bis später
@@QuestioningQuilter Good morning dear Brita, I must say I started thinking that I want to use one of your blocks for a lesson here in Germany. But you can be sure we will email before and I would ask you to get your permisson to do it.
@@peggyreinhold886 I look forward to hearing from you.
I hope you keep bringing the simple! It is always a great place to start! Sometimes I just want something different that isn’t so hard. Thank you
If this wasn't too hard then the "More Complicated" quilts won't be too hard either. I will make the two blocks (either positive and negative coloration or mirror image) just like I did for this one. Then show how to put them together. I will still make some simple ones as well, so don't worry.
I appreciate you sharing all of the variations!! ❤️🤍💙
You are so welcome! I thought I might have gone overboard with the extra variations, but everybody seems to like them. 😄😄
I really like this video because you showed on the screen the measure sizes of the block. This really helps.
Thanks for letting me know that was useful to you. I will try to remember to include it in future videos. I really appreciate you letting me know what parts you like so that I can keep improving. Happy Quilting.
I would love anything and everything from you! I just love watching you and seeing how something so simple once you mix it up becomes AMAZING!
Thanks for the kind words. You are very sweet.
The wilder the better!! Love your variations!!
Thanks so much for the vote of confidence.
I absolutely love these disappearing blocks. I am so glad you have them all together in one place with the variations!! Thank you.
You are so welcome! Thanks for letting me know that you like them. 😊😊
Lots of variations! I just found you! Your tutorials are wonderful, thank you so much.
I am so glad that you found me. Welcome! I am happy that you are enjoying the tutorials. Thanks,
😁@@QuestioningQuilter
Yes please for not only the simple but the mirror images and complex. Thank you for doing these videos and helping our creative juices to flow!
I am so happy to think that I am getting your creative juices flowing. It is such a wonderful compliment. Thank you so much.
what a value discover! I found your channel while i'm looking for a simple method to do more hourglass block in a short time.
I'm going around lot of your design and ideas and i find them gorgeous and genius.
I wanna try some very soon.
I really hope that you do. I would love to see it if you decide to make one of my patterns. Thanks so much.
Very beautiful flower quilt.you are great
Thank you so much 😀
Any of these combos is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I am so happy that you like them. Thanks for letting me know.
I would love to see all the possible variations with each of the blocks and combinations of blocks. This was another great, easy to follow tutorial! Thanks.
Thank you so much.
The more adventurous blocks the better! Your work is unique and you’re opening so many minds and eyes to making the simple become incredibly complex.
And oh my goodness! Who knew the incredible variations due to color and rotation.
I am working on the next video and it will have positive and negative versions of the same block. There are going to be so many options, I wonder if people are going to get sick of them. LOL
Very well done. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I am so glad to hear that you like it.
More, more, more. Love your teaching techniques and your projects. I have subscribed and recommended your site to several of my quilting friends. Thank you so much for sharing your talents.
Lynnette
You are so awesome. What greater compliment could I receive that you sharing my video with your friends. Thank you so much.
Let's see if you really want more. I am working on this month's video and I have over 12 different layouts for the blocks. LOL!
@@QuestioningQuilter
I wanted to share what I liked most about your videos, aside from your personality.
• your projects appear to target confident beginners and intermediate skill levels. There are a lot of beginner quilt shows but yours kick them up a notch.
• You don’t wastes time showing us the sewing of all the 1/4 inch seams. Skipping to sewn block is so much more interesting.
• The color schemes are great and they challenge us to mix it up and still end up with beautiful patterns that are very pleasing to the eye.
Keep them coming
@@lynnettenilan52 Thanks so so much for the detailed feedback. I spend a lot of time worrying about what to add and what not to add. It is fantastic to hear what is working. Yay!
This month is going to be just a little different. I am going to make it in blue and yellow to honor Ukraine. It is going to have positive and negative of the same block. I am not going to show other colors. Instead I have over a dozen different layouts for these blocks. I am hoping to get this out either today or tomorrow. I would love to know your opinion
I bet the day lily quilt would be great in Civil War print fabrics!
I bet you are right. I would love to see that quilt.
I LOVE the way your instructions are so clear and concise, but my favourite parts of your videos are seeing all the different variations possible with your blocks. Keep going along as you have been; I enjoy your videos very much. 😁
Thank you so much for letting me know that you like all the different variations. I kind of when crazy with all the different possibilities here and was afraid it was too much. I really appreciate the reassurance that you still enjoy them.
What ever you do is wonderful. Give me all the ideas you want. Love watching you.
Thanks so much, you are making me blush. 😊
An impossible choice! Looking forward to more simple block variations as well as more intricate designs. You have such great content on this channel.
I am so happy that you like it. 🥰🥰
I would enjoy the positive negative variation, but it doesn't have to be first. We are still working on variations from your sampler class. Absolutely addictive, terrific learning experience, and tons of fun! Everything you share just gets us all going (and laughing) again!!!
You have an advantage. You saw the chain block as positive and negative and got to see that quilt. I may do a video about that, but for now it is just for the people who took the class. 😉
Thanks so much for watching.
Go for it! If you're thinking of it, for sure, Everyone else are, too. Great job!!
Wow! You have more confidence than I do. Thanks so much for the reassurance.
Great! Keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do!
I love your videos. I hope you continue to do them. I'm working on one of your patterns right now
Thank you so much. I am excited to hear that you are working on one of my patterns. I hope that you will share a picture of it with me when you are done.
This might be my favorite disappearing quilt yet! I love the scrappy look, but you've organized it with the green vines into a coherant story with the flowers!
I love flowers very much, and always like quilts that resemble flowers.
I am so glad that you like it. It was a lot of fun. I think the scraps looked better against the green. I tried it with scrappy "vines" and it was just too busy. I think the green vines seem to frame the flowers and make them stand out more.
Thanks so much for letting me know.
We want it all!
Thank you for being such a great speaker! easy to understand - I will be waiting for more great quilts!
Thank you so much! I am working on this month's quilt right now.
This is a great video! I'm a beginner and I can follow it. This is a beautiful quilt and you explain it so clearly. Thank you for doing these.
Thank you so much!!!!
Love you tutorials and would like some more complicated blocks.
Thank you. I am so glad that you are ready for some slightly more complicated quilts. The only problem is that there are so many to choose from, I have difficulty picking the next design. 😎 I guess that is a good problem to have.
Brita you did it again. Love the quilt. Thanks for showing the different combinations.
I am so happy you like it. Thanks.
Hi Brita, love your channel. I just found you on TH-cam and have signed uo for your newsletter. I am 78 yo and have been quilting since 1995. Your clear instructions and spontaneous manner have me coming back for more. Looking forward to your next TH-cam because I have looked at all your past ones. Linda R. from Ontario Canada
I am so glad that you found me. Welcome!!! I am happy to hear that you like my style of teaching. My family and I lived outside Buffalo for 5 years and visited Toronto so many times. Beautiful city and beautiful area.
Love your videos - great information and easy to understand- I would like to see some charm pack designs as well as the layer cakes
I am so happy that you like the videos. Two of my previous tutorial used charm packs:
Moroccan Tiles th-cam.com/video/twK-hloqxOY/w-d-xo.html
Double Vision th-cam.com/video/wTdSUbx_F8g/w-d-xo.html
I am sure that I will use them again at some point in the future. Meanwhile, I hope that you enjoy these two.
Do everything! I love your ideas!
Yay! Thank you!
Both 😊. Love your Quilts’s
Thank you!
Thank you for your demonstration
You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
Love your ideas!!
Thank you! 😊
I can't wait to see what you have next! Your production has gotten so good!!
Thanks
I also want it all!!!! Love seeing all different color and block placement applications!!!
Of course you do! I will definitely keep showing the different colors and arrangements.
I would like to see both simple disappearing blocks and more complex patterns.
LOL. How did I know that you would want to see both. 🤣🤣
Great video. If one must choose, I vote for a more complex block, but I love the idea of both!
Thank you! You are the first person to express a preference. Everybody seems to want both. LOL.
Love them all 😊 I’d love to see what else you have up your sleeve on this pattern.
Thanks! I just finished filming and am now working on editing and voice over for my latest Disappearing Pinwheel pattern. Hope to have it out in a few days.
I was just mulling this over...this would look so cool with plain green "vine" block and plain flower fabric blocks in between...or, blue or pink vine ones with baby fabric in between for a quick baby quilt! Man, the possibilities are endless.
YAY! I love when I get someone thinking "What If". You are right, the possibilities are endless. That is one of the things I love about these quilts.
I would like a challenge please. Simple is good but I would love more please
Thanks for letting me know that you are up to a little more challenge. Now I only have to decide that the next design should be.😄😄😄
Definitely all the options please and thank you so much for all the lovely patterns xx
I am so happy that you enjoy them.
Anything at all you would like to offer is much appreciated!!
Thanks for the reassurance!
Brita you are a fabulous teacher. I love your videos and all of your quilts - “simple” and complex. Thank you for showing all the color possibilities and including QOV options.
Thank you so much. QOV is such a great cause. I will always include at least one red, white, and blue option in all my future patterns.
This quilt really blew my mind! What an awesome teacher you are too! Just what I need since I'm kinda a beginner. Thank you so much!!
I am so happy that you like it. I love beginning quilters. If there is anything I can do to help you on your quilting journey, please let me know.
Super job, Brita! I love all of the variations! I will watch whatever you want to do!
Thank you so much for the vote of confidence.
I like them all, too.
Thanks for the support!!!
