Welcome back to the Stay at Home Round Robin! This week’s prompt is provided by Wendy of Pieceful Thoughts of my Quilting Life! The prompt for this week is sliced square with insert(s)! Make your blocks and slices however you choose and link up on Wendy’s blog HERE.

I decided to make a plus or cross block, and I just had to use some more of that beautiful turquoise fabric. My sliced plus blocks measure 4″ finished. To make these first I cut 4-1/2″ squares of Island Batik white for the background, then sliced them in half vertically. Next I cut a 1-1/2″ strip of turqouise and chain pieced one of the sliced stacks onto it. After I trimmed those, I stitched the second sliced half to make a complete block. Next, I sliced those blocks in half horizontally, added the turquoise strip, in the same fashion as the vertical stripe, and stitched the lower half of the sliced block onto the upper strip to make the plus. Next I trimmed those to 4-1/2″ for my unfinished size. Some are a little off center, but that’s OK with me! Here is the photo of these blocks added to my SAHRR.

Here is my happy little quilt to this point!!

Now, decide how you will interpret this round and go link up with Wendy, as she is hosting the linky party for this week! Remember you interpret each prompt and it’s placement as YOU see fit! There are no quilting/designing police in this SAHRR!! Some of my blocks will be four inches and some will be other sizes. It’s all up to you! Make one block or make a row, or even a border – or four!

Visit each of the co-hosts and take a look at their interpretations of this round.
