Information about the Stay at Home Round Robin can be found @Quilting Gail. Rather than traveling quilter to quilter as for usual round robins, you keep your quilt at home, and each week one of the designated 7 bloggers gives you a prompt on what to do for the next round.
The new prompt for the Stay at Home Round Robin was posted today by Roseanne & Sue @ Homesewn by Us, which was a checkerboard border. I was thinking about what fabrics I wanted to pull. All of a sudden a thought popped in my mind that I had some already sewn red and neutral four patches leftover from Bonnie Hunter's Good Fortune mystery from a couple of years ago. This was my version.
I had a baggie full of four patches, they even had pressed, spun seams, ready to stitch.
I had all four sides ready to sew on, when I noticed I had two reds together, so some ripping was done, several times.
This was my finished piece. It is measuring about 39 inches now.
Will be linking up @Home Sewn by Us.
Thanks for stopping by!
That was a great find for your checkerboard border! And it looks like your 4 patches fit perfectly, too. Your round robin is looking wonderful, Karrin!
ReplyDeleteWhoot whoot fit leftovers! Great job! I like your whole piece!
ReplyDeleteA great touch to your RR and having them all ready to go? Score!
ReplyDeleteHi Karrin! What a stroke of genius, using up those cute little 4-patch blocks that you had already made. And don't they just look so darn cute?! I am partial to red and white, and especially a scrappy version like you chose. Win/win all the way around. Great job and thanks for linking up. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI love it! Now we know why we don't throw anything out. LOL!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks amazing, Karrin and still loving the staggered flying geese. The four patches worked out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteHow great that you already had all those four patches! I love how your quilt is turning out
