Orphan Block Center
Round one with 2.5 inch finished Hourglass blocks.
Round Two with borders and Double Four Patch cornerstones.
Round Three I added a Flying Geese border.
Round Four I added 3 inch Drunkard's Path blocks.
Round Five with a two color border all around of two inch width strips.
The top is now 42 x 48 inches.
The next and final round will be added to the top and bottom of the quilt.
The round three prompt for the Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR) 2026 is "Two colors".
I am making three comfort quilts using the SAHRR prompts.
Raggedy Ann and Andy
Round One with 4 inch finished Hourglass blocks.
Round Two - In round one I used Four Patches for the cornerstones. I replaced the cornerstones with Double Four Patches.
Round Three - I added a border to two sides of each top and added Puss in the Corner blocks to the top and bottom of those side borders.
Round Four - I added borders with hearts to the top and bottom.
Round Five - I added two color borders made of 2.5 inch width strips to the top and bottom of the quilts.
Both are 36 inches wide and 40 inches in length.
And sew on...

I love watching you work through these challenges, adjusting them to suit what you have in your stash and the eventual quilt's intended destination.
all of them are so great!
Great work on these SAHRR quilts, Cathy--I really love how the purples blend in and out so well. the R-ANN and R-Andy are just adorable.
I began my jelly roll staggered strips first row this morning--a test run with an older all blues batik roll...we shall see how it goes...test before using my cherished "Whimsey Wonderland" roll...hugs from snowville Julierose;)))
Great fun watching you grow these quilts :-)
I've been debating just using strips for "two colors," so seeing that you did has helped me decide!
Such great dynamic finishes! Lots of life and color!
I'm looking forward to seeing the purple beauty all complete - one of my favourite colours. I love your centre piece. Raggedy Ann and Andy are delightful, these will bring such joy to two littlies.
All 3 are delightful, but I am especially drawn to the purple version. I look forward to seeing how they finish with the final prompt!
All of your quilts are looking great!! I love the simple borders using 2 colours! Thank you for joining the SAHRR'26 and linking to Round #5!
Bravo to you for finishing up three quilts! The double border is just perfect, and provide a perfect launching pad for the final prompt, tomorrow.
These are looking great! Did you have a target size in mind when you started?
I really like the colors you are using throughout.
Your quilts look great - what a lot of work, but you have done well!
