Each block measures 27” square and is hand stitched

This Vintage quilt, Circle of Sisters, was originally made in the 1950’s by a quilting group of friends. Each of the blocks was different but together they make an interesting display. We will focus on one block during class and you can continue to make 4, 6 or 9 blocks later, or perhaps turn the finished block into a lovely cushion! My version has a total of 9 blocks.
