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 #5 is hosted by Me! Right here on my blog.
My choice for this round is “4.” You can do whatever you want – but it needs to have an element of “4” in it. You can choose 4 colours, 4 different blocks, 4 of one block … it’s YOUR choice.
I chose to make a friendship star … there are 4 points to a friendship star … so that fits the 4 in this round. As well, each point of the star is a different fabric … so I could say that was another “4” that fit into this round. If you want some more ideas, visit the other hosts (links below) to see what they did! Or come back and look at the people that have posted in the Link party (below). I used my Accuquilt Cube 8 to make the star. It finishes at 6″ x 6″.
The stars were placed on the top and bottom of the quilt.
Next week is Round #6! Our final round!!! Come back next week to check it out! 😋

Thanks, Diann!!! It’s amazing how, as hosts, we don’t talk about how we are going to do each row … and we all end up with something different! I love the variety!!! And, I’m absolutely positive that some of the participants will create their own version of “4”.
