SAHRR 2023--Quilt Top Finished!

Today is the beginning of the Parade of Quilts that have been made as part of the 2023 Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR) hosted by Gail at Quilting Gail and several of her quilting friends. I can't wait to see how everyone's quilts turned out!

There's a specific space on the wall in our dining room that is visible from the kitchen, and it's the perfect spot for a wallhanging that measures between 36" and 42". I am trying to make different seasonal pieces to hang there, and this year's SAHRR project is meant to become one of them. Here are the different stages of my project.

Borders #4--Flying Geese + #6--Pinwheel
Finished top measures 42.75" square


One thing I realized as I got further along on this quilt was that I was wishing for a little more breathing space between the different border elements. I especially like the way that worked out on the last pieced border with the flying geese and the pinwheels. It's something I will try to keep in mind next time. The learning process never stops!

  3. Your SAHRR turned out beautifully. Building the borders has definitely been a learning process. I really like you incorporated the flying geese in your border. Spacing is important, not making full borders also helps, you don't have to be as accurate.

  4. This turned out beautifully. I too love how you did the flying geese. Combined with the pinwheels in the corners it gives the idea of movement to the border and makes it interesting.

  5. Beautiful - every single round you added worked so well. Love the colors too. I have a dining room wall that always has a quilt hanging on it too.

  11. Dots, spots, stripes and stars, oh I love it all together! These projects take a lot of brain power to design but sure are unique and fun.

  12. I really like how you combined the different elements of the borders, and I especially like how the striped fabric sets them off. I'm sure you will enjoy your rotating gallery of quilts from your kitchen.
