Grandma's Choice Quilt Pattern

This free quilt pattern is a variation of the Grandma's Choice quilt block. It is made up of four pinwheel units with sashing between them. Follow the instructions to make a wallhanging with four quilt blocks that are separated by strip-pieced sashing and cornerstones.

You can change the look of this little quilt by altering the colors and color values of the fabrics.
