So here is Hard to Use Fabric #4. This one was hard because of the colors in the sunflower print. I started out to making a square with a 1 inch border with the sunflower in the center. I was going to alternate the yellow and the brown. I guess I was very uncreative that day, because it was terribly boring.
Edited to add: original sunflower print was cut at 5.5 inches, sashing cut 1.5 inches

After letting it set for a while, I decided to cut the squares down the diagonal and see what I could do with that. Then I put 4 halfs together to form a new square, set it on point and added some of the original squares back in. The original squares needed to be bigger so I added the cream around each block. Finished it off with the triangles and there you go.
Still not my colors or my style, but it is better than what I started with. The sunflower print had to be used and now it's gone! Brown meander and a matching back and binding to keep it cohesive.
YEOWEEE, I think it is really pretty, I love those colors for fall. I think it was just brilliant your method on this one, seriously I think it is very striking. I might have to try something like it some day! So what size sq. did you start with in the very beginning?
