SAHRR Round 1 on 5 Row Quilts

 I am participating in the 2025 Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR).

As I mentioned in a previous post...

I am going to use the weekly prompts to make 5 kiddo sized row quilts. 

The prompt this week -Make a King’s Crown block/s for your first round OR make blocks that begin with your first initial.   There are two versions of the King's Cross block in various sizes offered as possibilities to be used. 

Basket Orphan Blocks 

is the center row.

I used some 30s reproduction scraps to make 8 inch Kings Cross blocks. I added a row of Kings Cross blocks above and below my center row. 

Big print construction novelty fabric is the center row.

I added a row of 8 inch Kings Cross blocks to the top of my center row. 

Big print race cars is my center row.

I added a row of 12 inch Kings Cross blocks to the bottom of center row. 

Big print Elephants is the center row.

I added a row of 8 inch black and white Kings Cross blocks to the bottom of center row. 

A piece of border print is the center row. I added a red polka dot strip to the top and bottom of the center row and then added a row of 8 inch Kings Cross blocks to the bottom of it all. 

And sew on...

REMEMBER, TREASURE, GROW, READ (my words of the year)

My husband John has been surprising me with some signs for my gardens. 😀

When the grandkids were little I hid a bunch of little gnomes and other surprises  here and there in my fairy and cottage gardens. When they arrived for a visit they would run out to see if they could find gnomes and surprises. I even had a little clothesline I would put up sometimes and little bucket, and garden tools for gnomes and fairies and little lights and I hid little trinkets and pretty jewels/rocks...oh, that was all so much fun.  And then the grandkids grew up, moved away and passed away and the gnomes and fairies got lazy and sad and didn't hide or leave trinkets or dance and laugh anymore.     Now that hubby bought me this sign for my garden I think it is time to dig out and hide the gnomes again even if no one finds them.
