Puppy Parade - Stay at Home Row Robin - 2021

 I first posted about this project in October, 2021.  It was a spin-off idea from the Stay At Home Round Robin ( SAHRR ) which began here ... SAHRR … pronounced “stay at home round robin.” | Quilting Gail.  I also started a 'Round' Robin style, which is lovely, but still unfinished.

All the dog pics were cut out from a panel  I bought last year.  If you're interested to get one for yourself, I just found one here Amazon.com: Doggie Drama 24'' Novelty Dog Panel Cream Quilt Fabric : Pet Supplies.

I am not good at getting clear close-up photos showing detail.  I took it to church this morning for a photo.  Everyone loved it.  I think I like it so much, not just because of the doggies, (that I love)  but because of the crisp white background and the many colors in the fabrics.  I forgot to get a pic of the backing, but it is readily available as a wide back. 

Here is my "Puppy Parade".  It measures 64 x 72.  I quilted it with So Fine off white and gray threads on the top and white Bottom Line thread in the bobbin.  There is straight line quilting and curved free motion quilting in the blocks and borders  and a stipple in the background of the dog squares, which make the doggies pop.  I made a magic binding for this one, so the faux cording would stand out between the binding and top.

What a great finish for me this week.  I'm joining these linky parties so please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing this week.

SAHRR 2022 round 4

 I still haven't given this project a name yet.  Here is my progress through Round 4.  I combined specs for round 3 and 4 together into one round.  This round is 4 - 1/2 inch finished.  My next round of applique will be much wider.  You can see how other quilters are progressing with their rounds   HERE .

I love this project and plan to use this philosophy for designing more often !  Here is my project through round 4 .............  It measures 41-1/2" so far.

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.

https://quiltinggail.com/2022/01/10/sahrr-2022-getting-started-center-block/

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.

Puppy Parade - SAHRR

 I made good progress on one of my SAHRR ( stay at home round/row robin ) projects this week.  I picked an interesting layout and transformed the row descriptions and panel blocks into this quilt I call Puppy Parade.  The photo is taken indoors, so the fabrics are much more vibrant than it appears.  Now it waits for pin basting and quilting.  It is so bright and colorful and makes me smile.

It measures 67 x 75,  a very large lap size.  I used a Kona white in the background and a colorful fat quarter collection for the piecing.

I'm joining all these linky parties this week.  Be sure to visit them to see what other quilters are sharing.

SAHRowRobin

 I was inspired into making the round/row robin projects.  The Stay At Home Round Robin was first started  here .............  SAHRR … pronounced “stay at home round robin.” | Quilting Gail.

One of my quilting groups is doing this project now.  Some of us are doing the round robin style and some are doing a row robin style.  A few of us are doing one of each.  

I have been spending alot of sewing time on my row robin.  I loved the detail in this dog panel and wanted to use it for myself as a sofa quilt.  I also paired it with a colorful fat quarter collection called JotDot by Blank Quilting.  I smile every time I look at these dog poses.  Here is my WIP so far.....

This week I'm linking up with these fun linky parties.  Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing this week.
