Flourishing Palms: Free Patterns

Patriotic Pinwheel, 24-1/2" X 24-1/2"

FREE instructions for Patriotic Pinwheel block*.

*Six pages of instructions do not include specific details for adding the last two borders (white with blue stripe, and dark blue). The 1"-wide (finished) white border is a little tricky to explain where to position, though it can be made similar to the red stripes. Feel free to copy mine on your own.

Homemade Basting Spray

3 cups water

1 tsp. salt

3 heaping TBLS. flour

1 cup rubbing alcohol (Vodka works too and makes the spray odorless)

1 clean 24-ounce spray bottle

A 16.9-ounce Best Press bottle works; 2 bottles will be needed.

Combine 2 cups water and 1 tsp. salt in a pot; bring to a boil.

Combine 1 cup water and 3 heaping TBLS. flour in a jar or well sealed tupperware; shake to mix. When the water and salt boils, lower temperature to a gentle boil; add flour and water. Cook on medium heat until the mixture thickens like gravy. Stir it so it doesn't stick. Remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature. When mixture is cool, pour it into the spray bottle. Add 1 cup rubbing alcohol or vodka. Shake well to mix.
