Girl's Choice Quilt Block - Block Number 9 in the First Anniversary Quilt Series

© Janet Wickell, Created in Electric Quilt v.6

Before we get started with the Girl's Choice quilt block pattern, let me just say that there are lots of ways to assemble it. The method I chose seemed logical to me, but if you're an experienced quilter and want to do it a different way, go for it.

Like other blocks used in the Anniversary Sampler quilt pattern, Girl's Choice finishes at 12-inches square and will be placed on point in the finished quilt. The fabrics used help me explain the assembly, but choose fabrics that work with your theme. Feel free to change color value placement to suit your own needs, and use this block for any quilt you'd like to design.
