Getting caught up on my 2025 Stay at Home Round Robin this week - first by sewing up the long seams from round 4's border.
At this point, the top measures 21 x 22,
a little bit more rectangular than square.
Then, on Monday, Brenda, from Songbird Designs, posted her choice for border #5, which is log cabin blocks. It's our choice whether to sew full, half, or quarter blocks, and I chose quarter log cabins. So far I've made six of them with 1.5 inch logs, and they finish at 3 inches.
I made two with the floral square in the center,
and four with pink in the center.
The reason for that was to set these blocks in the corner of the top, like this -
They'll go on opposite corners like this -
I'm going to wait for the final border prompt next Monday
to decide how I will finish this up!

Oh, I just love the quarter log cabins in the corners, Diann. They look like flowers. I look forward to seeing what you do next. Enjoy your day. Hugs.
Those quarter square log cabin blocks are a wonderful addition!
Fun to watch your quilt grow each week!
What a pretty little "garnish" those logs make on your quilt! Your quilt has such a lovely balance with your block placement. It is going to be so pretty. I can't believe you are already waiting for the final prompt - that seemed fast!
I like those corners - nice addition to it
Nice idea to balance the QSTs with your Dresdens. You continue to inspire me!
Your SAHRR is coming along nicely, Diann. Love your plan for the corners.
Your quilting world looks like Spring even though your actual world looks pretty Wintery! Stay warm. We're cold here too but not as cold as you these past few days!
What a great way to join those half log cabin blocks at the corner!
Love how you interpreted the prompt this week! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Your quilt is very pretty. I like the way you used the quarter log cabin blocks.
Your #5 border blocks turned out beautifully. I need to get going on mine. Hard to believe next week is it for this challenge.
Thanks for the info. I’ve been contemplating 1/4 log cabins. Unsure of how or where they should go. I, too, will wait for Round 6. Now that PQ16.4 is done and posted, I’ll try to build some log cabins today. I like the color placement on yours!
I like the corner cabins and I hope that Round 6 will work with that placement!
That is a cute little twist with your lay out! I like it!
I'm loving your SAHRR Diann! Thanks for linking up with us.
What a great response to the prompt! Those quarter LC blocks really create another interesting border. Your SAHRR is going really well!
That is a super cool way to incorporate the log cabins!
