I made my sister a Sister's Choice last year for Christmas.
A short story behind it: My sister doesn't quilt or sew and two years ago for Christmas she bought our grandmother 18 half yards of fabric for quilting. She went to JoAnn's and bought a light and dark of nine colors. Not knowing anything about material, some of it was really cheap and some of it wasn't too bad. Our grandmother died before she was able to even take the material out of the box. I asked our mother for the material and made the Sister's Choice quilt.
The material was my sister's choice, the pattern was her sister's choice and the fabric belonged to our grandmother. I loved it!
Sometimes it isn't just about the fabric and the block. It is the love and thought that goes into the project. Whatever you choose, I am sure she will treasure!
