Stay at Home Round Robin #5 - Square in a Square

Welcome back to the Stay at Home Robin!  This week it is my turn to tell you and everyone else what to add to their quilts, and I picked Square-in-a-Square.  

 

It's a fun unit, and there is a lot you can do with it.  I started with a light yellow center and an aqua background for the outer squares.  I did all of mine the same, because I knew was going to add something to each square -- I used my squares as a background for fun flowers!


I have a few different flower dies for my Accuquilt and I just cut out a bunch of different shapes and started putting flowers together.  I had a lot of fun and really love the flowers together all in a row.  



So here are all my rows/rounds together so far.  Hard to believe, but we have just one round left in our quilt for this year!

 

Are you sewing along? Link up and show us your Square in a Square blocks, or whatever round you are up to now.  Remember that there are prizes this year!  You get an entry for every week you link up.

  1. Your row quilt is so pretty, Emily. I love the colors and the variety of designs. Appliques add such a soft appeal to quilts, I think. I just do very little of it, but I always love how it looks.

  9. Yours looks great! I love adding the flowers to the squares, and of course it fits your theme. You couldn't have picked a better next border for me. In fact when I was thinknig of what I'd be doing if I were planning it all by myself, Square in a Square was one of my ideas!

  16. Love how you are using all of your Accuquilt dies to do this year's SAHRR and making it a row quilt! This would be a great way to encourage those who haven't used their dies to try them out. When this is finished it should be in one of the viewer trunk shows at the beginning of one of the Live shows!
