I am participating in the 2025 Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR).
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 Crown 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 Crown blocks. I added a row of Kings Crown blocks above and below my center row.
Big print construction novelty fabric is the center row.
I added a row of 8 inch Kings Crown blocks to the top of my center row.
Big print race cars is my center row.
I added a row of 12 inch Kings Crown 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 Crown 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 Crown 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.

Really great looking blocks. I also love your words of the year.
Your row quilts are fun already, Cathy! And I love the gnome sign. I definitely think your gnomes should come out to play in the garden this year!
You did a lot of crowns. I love that you made them fit, whether 8 or 12 inches, with or without border. Great job! What a wonderful place you created for those grandchildren. It's time for the gnome to reappear. Maybe they'll chase the squirrels away. ;^)
You are doing great on the SAHRR. They are all fun quilts to be. Yes, time to get the gnomes out again! Such fun memories for your grandchildren.
Your five quilts are coming on wonderfully and I love your story about your fairy and cottage garden. Your grandchildren must have loved it :)
Always creative. What a great idea. Those quilts will be a hit with their recipients. You have some good ideas there. I'm hoping that I will be able to join in next year. I'm still playing catch up on my UFOs. I miss my children and grandchildren too. We had a nice blanket of snow and I had no one to watch throwing snowballs or making snow angels or snowmen. Oh well. I think some of those gnomes of yours should sneak inside and hide from your husband like the elf on the shelf. He has done a good job with the signs and the seeds and flowers!
I love that you are making so many donation quilts! It is fabulous and they all look so different. Love that you kept the same block for all too, just a little continuity between them.
You have sewn quite a bit of blocks. They are all fantastic!
You need to hide the gnomes for yourself now - and if you are like me, you'll be delighted each time you come across one in your garden.
Wow, you've been busy. That's a lot of blocks to make for one week. I love the gnome sign and I think you should bring out the gnomes whether they are hiding or not.

All of your King Crown blocks look great and work well with each quilt. I feel like a slacker...I only made four and they aren't even attached.
Oh wow, your 5 quilts are going to be fantastic! Love the elephant one, but all of them are lovely!
Wow! Look at you go! So many pretty blocks!
So much sewing for all those blocks, I'm impressed!
