#6 Willa's Wheel
Becky's actual block. She can't resist adding a few seams (more fabric!)
Fussy Cutting in the points ---you all knew she was a Daredevil.
Denniele Bohannon's block before the applique circles.
#6 by Dorry Emmer
As Dorry says, just using chartreuse makes you a daredevil.
The points in her center quarter circles are pieced.
Her inspiration: Karen K. Stone's piecing in her New York Beauty quilts.
Dorry has no easy button, she says.
Willa's Wheel was inspired by BlockBase #3561 published by Evelyn Brown in her quirky book called Quilting Do It My Way in 1975. She showed a variation she called Mountain Pink (the most traditional block in her daredevil book).
Ladies Art Company
It's one more way of constructing a popular block the Ladies' Art Company
called Rising Sun and the Kansas City Star Circle Saw.

This past weekend I went to a farmers market and antiques shop in Amish Country. One booth had a red and orange quilt with this pattern and the centre of the sun was the pinwheel...perfect condition for $45! Yes, I grabbed it fast lol.
