SAHRR 2025 Fourth Round

Wendy with Pieceful Thoughts gave us our fourth round assignment: Sliced Square with Insert. I chose not to slice a square but instead used 2.5″ x 4.5″ strips of a pretty Joel Dewberry floral print with 1.5″ x 2.5″ side strips of Kona Celestial. It still has the look of an insert. Because this is such a simple block, I was able to add this border to my project and then add the 2.5″ coping strip border in a few hours of sewing.

When I was I working on my quilt top today, I remembered reading about a “magic numbers principle in quilting”. In my project, I am using 1.5″, 2.5″ and 4.5″ measurements. If I chose, 6.5″ strips or blocks would also work, but I don’t want that large of a border! Read more about this concept here.

Currently my quilt top is 53″ square. I am planning to combine Rounds 5 and 6 to keep the size of my finished quilt more manageable.
