It is important that you draw very accurately. The size of the squares depends on how large you want your finished block to be.

Sew a machine foot width from the diagonal lines on both sides of the diagonal lines. Use a stitch length corresponding to about 5 stitches per cm.4.Now cut the squares apart.

Press the seam towards the dark fabric.6.Now sew four squares together to form a windmill block (as shown). Make as many blocks as you need for your project.
