I had some 30's repro fabric that was already cut into 2 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangles left over from another project. I used the rectangle for the center and cut some remaining strips into 2 1/2" square and sewed them onto white rectangles. Here are just a few of the Spool blocks that I've made.

aren't those kitties cute?!

this one is a Michael Miller fabric...love the circles.

cut between each stitching line and you will have a bucket of half square triangle waiting to be squared up.
These will square up at 1 1/2". Great for pinwheels or for the border. Maybe just a little mini!!
Here is the pile of the 3 pieces for each block just waiting to be sewn together.
I'll show more when I get the rest done and square up the half square triangles.

spacethis is a close up of the step that I always do if I'm sewing a snowball block, flying geese or corner squares like this one. I sew the square on the diagonal from corner to corner. Then I sew again 1/2" away from the original seam. That blue tape peeking out of the bottom of my fabric is my permanent guide. (the yellow was for something else, but I can't remember)

Quick question: do you like the setting in the first picture with alternating spools or the second picture with the spools all standing up?? (oops, now you have to scroll back up...sorry)
