Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR)

SAHRR

(Stay At Home Round Robin)

It's a flimsy!

I think last I measured it was 48 x 62.

The SAHRR kick-off was on January 10th and at that time I blogged about my center block.   A prompt for each round was to be issued for several weeks after that. My granddaughter passed away on January 15th before any prompts were issued so I did not do any sewing on my SAHRR until recently when I finally felt like being a little creative. 

My intent from the beginning was to use rose themed scraps for all of my rounds. My center block was made up of leftover Quarter Square Triangles (QSTs) from a quilt I finished in 2017. 

Round 1 prompt was Curves. 

I sewed together a lot of 1.5 inch width scraps end to end and then made borders all around that consisted of three 1.5 inch width strips. For my curves I added broderie persse in the border - a rose and butterfly...

...and another butterfly in the top corner. 

The round 2 prompt was Diamonds. 

I first made some 1.5 inch (finished) QSTs and then sewed them together to make diamonds. Then again I made borders of 1.5 inch strips and randomly added the strips of QSTs to two of the three strips in each border. 

The teeny tiny QSTs and the big ones in the center. 

The next prompt was Stars. Staying with the QSTs I made Ohio Stars -- three 3 inch (finished) Stars for each corner. And again, the rest of each border consisted of three 1.5 inch strips. 

I really wish I would have made the Ohio Stars with a little more contrast but I didn't so that's how it goes. 

The next prompt was Signature Blocks. I made mine with 2 inch squares and 1 inch corners and the strip finished at 1.5 inches. I added a 2 inch strip of gray floral before the Signature Blocks and a 1.5 inch strip of the same floral after the Signature blocks so the zig zag effect of the blocks would show up. The Signature block border was the last one to go all of the way around. After that I just wanted to add some length.  . 

The next prompt was Applique. I first added a border of three 1.5 inch strips to the top and bottom and then I added another broderie persse butterfly down by the rose...

...and three more broderie persse butterflies up on top. 

The final prompt was Shoofly. I made two 3 inch (finished) Shoofly blocks and set them in the center of a border of three 1.5 inch strips. Then I added the border to the top and bottom. 

After that I made two borders of 3 inch finished QSTs and added those borders to the top...

...and bottom. 

...and sew it goes.
