Big Dipper Quilt Block
Big Dipper Quilt Block
The Big Dipper Quilt Block is an arrangement of four Quarter Square Triangles. Notice how the careful arrangement of light and dark fabrics results in a central pinwheel design.
Traditionally, the block is made from two colors of fabric, but you can still get a central pinwheel with multi-colored, scrappy choices.
