SAHRR 2022

SAHRR ... Stay at Home Round Robin. I began this project when they first posted the challenge last year. Since they are doing a new version this year, I decided to follow along. This style of project is great encouragement for spreading your wings with techniques and design.

Here is my center with a few rounds from 2021 - 20-1/2 inch square

This month I combined rounds 1 and 2 together into one round. I had some leftover peaky and spike units (half diamonds) from a storm at sea quilt I made a few years ago. I had 4 large (6 inch) drunkard path blocks also leftover from another project. I decided to join them into diamonds and use coping strips to make it all fit into one border.

Here is my project now. it measures 32-1/2 inches square.

I'm joining these linky partys this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

Quilt 4 Kids - 22-1

This is a cute strippie - the fabric does all the work this time. It finished at 45 x 51. I backed it with a fleece and cotton batting. I quilted it with straight lines on my Janome. I dont have a pattern to share. I put it together from a image on the internet, adjusting sizes to suit my backing fabric.

and here is a pic of the fleece backing;

Dash - a finish for donation

I just finished this quilt. It is from a 3 yard quilt design called " Dash ". My version finished at 42 x 53. It has cotton batting and a soft gray fleece on the back. I used the blocks for areas to sample feather designs. I quilted it on my Janome sit down machine. I will donate this one to the Heritage of Huntington nursing home.
