Introduction to the Sarah's Choice Quilt Block Pattern

We'll use a couple of quick-piecing techniques to assemble the Sarah's Choice quilt block: sandwiched half-square triangle units (for the block's center) and quick flying geese units (to continue the block's spin in the outer rows).

If you don't want to make flying geese, additional half-square triangle units can be substituted in outer rows. The difference? You'll have a vertical seam between those units, taking away some of the block's fluidity.

I've included cutting instructions for multiple block sizes and examples of two potential layouts, one on-point and another with blocks that are horizontally set. You can create a scrappy quilt by varying fabrics from block to block.
