SAHRR Round 1

Last week I shared a few blocks that were being considered as the center block of this year's Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR) project. Later that same day, I made yet another block, but I still haven't decided which one I might use. There's even a chance I will use them all!


The block at the lower left is the newest addition. It is the center block of Kim Diehl's Liberty Legacy quilt, a free pattern from Henry Glass fabrics. Here's the newest block by itself. It is definitely my favorite of the group.


Our assignment this week came from Wendy at Pieceful Thoughts of My Quilting LifeShe chose signature blocks for the first round. I started out by making some samples to help me decide on the scale for the corner triangles. 


As you can see above, changing the size of the corners also changes the width of the center diagonal strip. I decided to go with the middle version, and made up a dozen of them in different green fabrics.


I also tried the signature blocks out with the whole group of star blocks, but it's not terribly successful. I have no idea where I'm headed with this project, and I'm not going to stress out over it. I'm just following the prompts and seeing where they take me.

  2. Ooh, using all the blocks could be really cool. Use a different border for each and then pieces those into one quilt? Looking forward to seeing what you path you decide on.
