Round Five - Two Colors



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.

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;)))

I've been debating just using strips for "two colors," so seeing that you did has helped me decide!
