A Quilters Cove - Green Gables-Block 2

 

It's time to share my neighborhood house constructed in greens for February's RSC color as hosted by Angela of Soscrappy.  

This block will measure 9" x 10-1/2" when sewn into the quilt.  I used a blanket stitch around most of the elements and a straight stitch on the small pieces.  I love the flowering trees which accent the greens so nicely.  Hmmm, no one can enter the house until I remember to install the door handle!

Andree of Quilting & Learning - What a Combo! hosts a linky party on the last Saturday of each month to share our housing projects.  Plus, you can find all the links related to our housing project on "A Quilters Cove" page listed at the top HERE .

Also, be sure to visit these linky parties this week to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

2026 SAHRR - Round 5

 

The prompt for Round 5 of this years' Stay at Home Round Robin is offered by Gail over at QuiltingGail.com    Round #5 for the 2026 SAHRR | Quilting Gail.  Gail suggested using 2 colors in this round.  You could use 2 color families plus background, which is what I did because I am working from a half yard bundle collection which now consists of leftover pieces.

I wanted to make this quilt rectangular, so my version of round 5 frames only the top and bottom.  I used the golden yellow family, some blue triangles and some background triangles.  I also needed to add a coping strip to make my border strip fit.  This quilt now measures 48 x 56.  My final round will have to be a 4 inch or 8 inch border.

I'm linking up with Gail HERE  where you can see all the other round robin creations   AND

Green Bricks Bear Hug 26-03

 I've been on the run every day this week with only stolen time in the sewing room.  Since I haven't accomplished anything from the green scrap bin this month, I grabbed partial jelly strips and made some rail fence blocks.  I sewed them into pinwheels and had enough for a very large 26 inch little bear hug quilt # 03. I won't get it finished today BUT I am determined to finish it this week.

2026 SAHRR - Round 4

 

Wendy at Pieceful Thoughts of My Quilting Life is hosting the prompt for Round 4 of the 2026 Stay at Home Round Robin. This week the prompt involves curves.  It could be curves in a block or curved applique or even curves in the fabric design.

I definitely put alot of work into this round.  I didn't want dresdens or drunkards path blocks because they would be too large for my overall plan,  plus I was working with measurements now of 42 inches on each side.

The fabrics are richer than they appear in this indoor photo.  I made the arch by using interfacing; leaving the bottom long edge open, turning right side out and topstitching with a blanket stitch onto  a 2-1/2 inch background strip which was then added to the center as one border strip each side.  I also took this time to top stitch down all the fusible flowers and butterflies.  I used a navy shade of Glide thread for all the top stitching.  My piece now measures 46 inches square.  I will need to choose one of the next 2 prompts to turn this quilt into a rectangle.

Along with Wendy of Pieceful Thoughts, I'm also joining these lovely linky parties this week.  Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.
