Sister's Choice/Churn Dasher

The sisters choice block is a vintage style block based upon a 5x5 grid.  It can be best thought of as a nine patch with star legs.

The colour variations that you can have start with two colours but you can also have a three colour version with the star points in colourway three.

The first tutorial is a written one available for download from Patchwork Square and includes instructions for various finished sizes (15", 10", 7.5" and 5").  Page 2 has a couple of example quilt layouts.

Quilt Codex used the classic two colour version for a block that finishes at 10"

Beth from My Sewing Room went scrap happy using two and a half inch square to give a block that finishes at 10 inches

Candy Cane Ridge has a slightly different variation in terms of colour but it is still the same block.  This time 15 inches finished.

The Maverick quilt uses a variation with the squares on the outside edges the same colour as the background.

This block is based upon a 5x5 grid
