Join me again this year as I provide instructions for how to make a different quilt block each month. Eventually, all these blocks will turn into a great quilt! For the month of June, we are making an another classic, the Mrs. Bryons Choice Quilt Block. I didn't know that this was a classic until after I made it!
For a 12 inch finished block (12.5 inch unfinished), you will need to cut the following:
White
- 12 of 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch squares
- 8 of 3 x 3 inch squares
Light Color
- 4 of 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch squares
- 1 of 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch square
- 1 of 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inch square
Dark Color
- 1 of 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inch square
Stitch a scant 1/4" away from both sides of the line.
Cut on the drawn line and press to the dark side.
Next, match another small square into the corner of the large triangle as shown in the picture.
Stitch a scant 1/4" from the line. Cut on the line and press to the dark side.
Trim down each flying geese unit to 4 1/2" x 2 1/2". Make sure you stay 1/4" away from the top point of the flying geese so you don't loose your point when you sew it.
Repeat with the remaining 3 inch white squares and the light colored 5 1/4 inch square.
You should now have 8 total flying geese.
Layout the flying geese and the remaining 2 1/2 inch and 4 1/2 inch squares to match the picture and stitch them together in rows. Press each row in alternating directions. Then, stitch the rows together. Press again.

(This is classic block that has been designed by many people but these instructions are written by me.)
Have fun quilting!
