Welcome to the first block of the Sisters' Ten Modern Block of the Month Club! We're getting started with a great block called Grandmother's Frame. It has a large center square that is perfect for fussy cutting a larger print if you like.

Cutting Instructions.

For 12" blocks.

Cut (4) 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" squares of Fabric A (background).
Cut (4) 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" squares of Fabric A (background).
Cut (2) 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" squares of Fabric B.
Cut (2) 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" squares of Fabric C.
Cut (4) 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" squares of Fabric E.
Cut (1) 7 3/4" 7 3/4" square of Fabric D. (fussy cut if desired)

To fussy cut is to target and cut a specific motif that's printed on fabric, rather than randomly cutting yardage as we normally do.

Cut (4) 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" squares of Fabric A (background).

Piecing Instructions.

1. Make Half-Square Triangle (HST) units with Fabric A and Fabric E. Use the (4) larger Fabric A squares and the (4) Fabric E squares to make (8) total Half-Square Triangle units using the method in this tutorial. The HSTs should be trimmed down to:
12" blocks: 2 7/8" (unfinished size).
9" blocks: 2 1/4" (unfinished size).

2. Make Half-Square Triangle (HST) units with Fabric B and Fabric C. Use the (2) Fabric B squares and the (2) Fabric C squares to make (4) total Half-Square Triangle units using the method in this tutorial. The HSTs should be trimmed down to:

12" blocks: 2 7/8" (unfinished size).
9" blocks: 2 1/4" (unfinished size).

3. Layout the Half-Square Triangle Units, remaining Fabric A squares and Fabric D square as shown below.
