Spirited, the Vanessa Goertzen designed block 4 of the Sewcialites Quilt Along released on Friday. It was a fun block that took about an hour to complete, including cutting.

I enjoyed this block and created my HSTs the traditional way instead of using the Triangles on a Roll. I did cut my squares slightly larger as insurance to trim my finished HST blocks down to the exact size needed.

I love the finished look of this block. The fabric I chose does take a little away from the exciting shape that forms from the contrast between solid and print, but it also does a fantastic job of hiding my slightly off areas.

Spirited was a pretty straightforward block, and I didn't run into any issues when assembling. It even came out just about exactly 6.5" with just a little wobble to trim off the edge from my corner squares.
