This mother’s choice remake quilt by Missouri Star might look like a complex pattern but it is actually not. I was hesitant at first too, but Jenny Doan made it super easy. The instructions are very clear – you will not have a hard time making this block. I am sure everyone will be impressed when you finish this project.

The mother’s choice remake quilt has three blocks – center, corner, and side. All three blocks are easy to make and are just a combination of the basic blocks. You will just need to make flying geese blocks and half-square triangles and snowball some of the corners. It is that easy. This vintage quilt pattern is also known as “Dove in the Window”, “Fringed Square”, and “Laurel Wreath”.
