Stay At Home Round Robin 2025 - Finish!

My SAHRR 2025 started with a Y-seam piece I made at a Libs Elliott workshop. I still had some fabric pieces from the center, plus I added other fabrics, and I kept to greens and blues for each week's round robin addition.


I quilted a freehand fan design to give it lots of texture, using my favorite "neutral" lime green thread.



I used up lots of scraps and an extra block on the back.


Thanks so much to Gail, Kathleen, Anja, Wendy, Brenda and Emily for the inspiration!

SAHRR 2025 Round 5

It has been a long time since I blogged, but I am having such fun with the 2025 Stay at Home Round Robin that I wanted to share. Thanks for the inspiration from the SAHRR bloggers!



My center is a Y-seams practice piece from a workshop I took last year. The blue and green fabrics are primarily from a collection donated by a client, supplemented by my stash. I joined in the SAHRR with round 2, half-square triangles. Then stars top and bottom to make it more rectangular. Squares with slashes made a fun zig-zag along the sides. And the scrappy quarter log cabins were a fun way to use some smaller pieces of fabric.




This top only has two rows from the SAHRR - strips with slashes, and quarter log cabins. The center of this piece was a traditional round robin with my guild. I provided the center Hmong embroidery square, and other guild members added on. I wanted to make the top bigger, so I added a row of lil Jojo blocks (a GE design pattern). Then inspiration from the SAHRR kicked in to add the slashes and quarter log cabins.
