For the SAHRR ’24, I am using Island Batik fabrics: a 10″ stack of Limerick in addition to “Teal”, “Egg Shell” and “Cherio-Iris.” For more information on a SAHRR, see THIS POST.
Round #4 is hosted by Brenda @ Songbird Designs.
Brenda gives you a choice. Do something “on point” or a square in a square. I chose to do the square in a square. I used my Accuquilt Cube 8 dies to make them. If you don’t have the dies, the centre square is just shy of 3 3/8ths of an inch. The added triangles are the same size as for the 2 1/2” half square triangles. My blocks finished at 4″ square. I was amazed that the blocks were a perfect fit for the tops and sides. I was totally prepared to add some extra background to make them fit, but I didn’t have to! Can I say that I did a happy dance?

What a neat bunch of photos. It must be so fun for you to open those each week. And yay for having your border at just the right size. I’m enjoying watching how everyone figures out what’s needed or not to get each border to fit every week.

I hope there was a little happy dancing going on when your border just snugged in there as it should! Seems I’m always encouraging (ahem) my borders to fit just so!
