Stay At Home Round Robin - Round Four


The prompt for round four of the Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR) is Square in Square or other on point block. 

For this round I made 36 five inch finished Square in Square blocks. 

I had to go kind of scrappy with the inner squares as well as the outer corners in order to stay with the blue and white color scheme. 

I also added a two inch finished coping strip of blue on white. 

So now my quilt is a 50.5 inch square. I think I will stay at that width and the next two rounds will be added to the top and bottom. I'm aiming for maybe a quilt 50 x 70. 

And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)

Feb. 13 -- Celebrating happy endings. I just finished the book Ration Book Baby by Ellie Curzon. It is WWII historical fiction. 

Feb. 14-- Celebrating LOVE, of course!

I agree! This quilt is really gorgeous with all the little flowers and big flowers on white. The Square in Square border is framing everything beautifully. Can't wait to see what you will do next. Enjoy! ;^)

This blue and white combo is gorgeous! And so brilliant in the bright sunlight. It's perfect just as it is now.

Fabulous as always. You had a great vision for this. I haven't tried one of these yet. My mind seems to scramble when I see the clues! LOL

Pretty blues.

The blue and white fabrics are so pretty. Makes me think of the blue and white dishes my parents often use. Your quilt is getting to be a nice size. You've made loads of progress!

Emily said...

Beautiful! I love your blue and white fabrics!

I like how the squares show off those large scale prints. I saw a whole display case full of blue and white pottery (mostly Delft or Delft-like) at an antique mall yesterday. This quilt echos that vibe so well.
