8 inch square
Found this pattern, probably in a magazine back in the mid 1970s.

To save the patterns I liked, I would trace the patterns.
I apparently forgot to note to add 1/4 inch seam.
Never knew why magazines didn't always automatically include seam.
So this one turned out to be 8 inch rather than the 11 inch noted.
Some modern day tips I used in making this square:

| Except note at the top of the strip triangle, the seams are pressed opposite to help lock in seam. |
The hardest part in putting this block together is matching the center.
I didn't intend to fussy cut the sunflowers, but now I see two pieces should have had more sunflowers for a balanced look.
