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.
Fabric Requirements:
Fabric A: Blue
2 - 3 1/4'' squares - mark
a diagonal line on the back.
Fabric B: Red
4 - 2 1/2'' squares
1 - 3 1/4'' square
Fabric C: White
8 - 2 1/2'' squares
1 - 3 1/4'' square
Make Half Square Triangles:
Pair the 3 1/4'' squares with right sides
together in the following combinations:
1 - A/B 1 - A/C
Sew 1/4'' away from each side of the
drawn line, cut on drawn line. Press
the A/C to the Fabric A and press the
A/B to the Fabric B. Square to 2 1/2''.
Make Quarter Unit #1:
Layout units as shown and sew together in
2 rows. Press seam in row 1 to the left and
seam in row 2 to the right. Sew rows together.
Press seam to the top. Square to 4 1/2''.
Make 2.
Make Quarter Unit #2:
Layout units as shown and sew together in
2 rows. Press seam in row 1 to the left and
seam in row 2 to the right. Sew rows together.
Press seam to the bottom. Square to 4 1/2''.
Make 2.
Assemble Block:
Layout quarter units in 2 rows as shown,
just remember to keep the Fabric A triangle
in the center ( in this case, it is the blue).
Press seam in row 1 to the left and seam in
row 2 to the right.
Sew rows together and press final seam
open to reduce bulk. Square to 8 1/2''.
