The completed block
I could not find ANYTHING on the roman four square. I'll keep looking. Thanks for posting the tutorial...
ReplyDeleteMaybe try looking for just Roman Square. I'll see if I can find other names for the block. I guess we may never know it's history. Oh well, we tried.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Kesli, one of Kendra's friends, currently living in Moldova just north of Turkey. I'm a little late in starting with you guys but would love to join along. I just completed this square and want to know what the finished dimension should be. Thanks. I am looking forward to quilting along with everyone.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the group! You will be able to catch up easily and we are happy you found us! The Roman 4 Square is 9 1/2", rough edge to rough edge. When the quilt is sewn together, seam to seam, the block will measure 9" square. Hope that helps. We would love to see photos of your fabrics and blocks as they are done. Keep in touch. Have a great day, or is it evening? Jane
