3D Pin Wheel Square

Start by picking 2 different fabrics. Then decide which is going to be the background fabric and which is going to be the pinwheel.

Start by cutting the background fabric into 4-6inch squares and set aside for now.

Then cut the pinwheel fabric into 4-5inch squares
This is my pinwheel fabric and where the fun begins

Fold the pinwheel fabric on the diagonal all four squares and finger press

Then bring the bottom right of the triangle over to the bottom left and finger press

When I got this part done I took it to the iron and pressed it for real

Then lay your background fabric down and place 1 pinwheel fabric in the same corner of each background square.
Then I arrange the pieces into the pinwheel shape
Then you can pin if you want and I folded Left onto Right and sewed at 1/4 in seam
After left onto right squares are sewn together then line up the center, again you can pin if you want, and finish with a seam in the middle at 1/4 in seam
This is how your square will come out.
See how the pinwheel makes these cute little pockets? LOVE IT!
