Delaware Quilts Block of the Month Sisters Choice This block is made up of 25 units, but it really isn't complicated. Placement of the colors is really what makes the pattern emerge. For the Sister's Choice block you will need – from a dark blue cut four 3 3/8 inch squares and one 3 inch square from the green cut eight 3 inch squares from the background (floral) cut eight 3 inch squares and four 3 3/8 inch squares First we'll make the diagonal half squares using the background and dark blue. Use your 3 3/8 inch dark blue and floral squares, and make a total of eight blue and floral diagonal half squares. Place a background and color one 3 3/8 inch square right sides together. Mark a line diagonally from corner to corner, and then mark a second line 1/4 inch on either side of that line. The first line is your cutting line, and the second two will be where you sew. Sew on the two sewing lines, cut on the cutting line, and open up your squares. Press to the darker side. Your diagonal half squares should be 3 inches. You are now ready to assemble your block, following the diagram below. Yes, that's it. I told you this was an easy block! Your finished block should be 12 1/2 inches or finished inside your quilt it will be 12 inches.
