Yes, it's great that she quilts also. It was when I was in Massachusetts and we would e-mail each other about which block we would do next. She picked red,white,and blue. I went with greens and tans. Now we live next door to each other and can actually run across the driveway and say "Look what I did".
The blocks are twelve inches and I got most of them from either quilter's cache or a book my sister gave me called "Once More Around the Block".
I had a grand time picking my colors and deciding on blocks. I am not very good about waiting a month to do the next block, however, and we ended up finishing our tops in about 2 months. LOL. Then it was on to the next thing. I am thinking about doing another one someday. It is really good for deciding if you feel like doing a whole quilt of a particular block.
