We are quilting along with Barbara Brackman's
Block of the Week, Grandmother's Choice.

This is how I made my block, it may differ a
bit from the original.

It is Easter Sunday here in the USA. Finally, it
looks like Spring has arrived though I have heard
rumors of snow flurries in a few days. Noooooo!
I am so happy to see Spring-like weather that it
inspired my fabric choices this week. Something
bright and happy and floral.


Fabric Requirements:

Fabric A: Large Floral
4 - 3 5/16'' squares

Fabric B: Pink Medium Floral

on the diagonal.
