The Pinwheel Die is based on our Westalee Design Pinwheel Template Set a great tool set that allows you to create wonderful, intricate designs. The Westalee Design Exploring the Pinwheel Book is—a comprehensive resource with over 80 blocks and layout ideas.

Shanna will finish by quilting the block with our new Westalee Design Spinning Ribbon Templates!
The Pinwheel Block Set is a set of 8 templates with fabric guide, that will give you the freedom to create more than 50 different blocks and by changing the color selections, the variety is enormous.
Now you can create a whole collection of new blocks and, with a little imagination, you can even create your own unique block.
"I wanted to do a project using the Pinwheel tools because the photos of blocks done with the tools look so difficult, much like a complicated paper pieced project. But really it is as easy as any other patchwork!" ~ Shanna
Shanna Rendon, Sew Steady Promoted Instructor
Shanna has been sewing most of her life, first learning quilting from her grandmother and friends at quilting bees, and then sewing from her mother, her grandmother, school and 4H. Her skills advanced until she could do tailoring and teach Stretch and Sew classes. Then she learned to do machine embroidery, to digitize designs, and to piece quilts correctly. Her quilting method of choice was quilting in the hoop with her embroidery machine, but when the Westalee quilting rulers appeared at her local quilting store, she was enthralled.
She started teaching ruler quilting classes in 2016 at the quilting store followed by Leonie’s Quilt As You Go series multiple times and most of the project classes available from Sew Steady, Continuum, Janet Collins’ patterns, and a few of her own. She taught a three-day event which included a trunk show, beginning ruler class, and ruler template folder project. She has spoken to quilting guilds and taught at a guild rendezvous.
