This is a Stay At Home Round Robin. It encourages us to use and orphan block so it isn't exactly like starting a whole new project. I have this orphan block (not a perfect block, but I like it) and this bag of scraps. This was left overs that someone else didn't want anymore. I love the colors of the fabrics.
The block is made of 2" squares. It is 18.5" x 19.5". A little lopsided and tough to square up without cutting too much off two of the sides. So I trimmed it as best I could and sewed strips around the block and got it squared up pretty good by the frame. The sashing frame. I sort of cheated on the piano key border. A few cuts of fabrics and added some stripes to make the length. Added in 6 of the Plus Blocks. Those are 3" blocks. So far I am enjoying this and I'm liking the look of it.
The qal is offered on the blog called Quilting Gail. https://quiltinggail.com/2021/01/01/sahrr-pronounced-stay-at-home-round-robin/
You can see all the rules and the other blogs that are giving a pattern each week for the rows.

The next picture shows the bag of scraps. There are more than it looks because they are stacked up.
The third picture shows that I have completed the steps given so far. I can't wait for the next step.
I love how this is looking. I am so glad you decided to post. Thanks for including all the pics.

DeleteI love all the colors in this!!!! Your piano keys are my favorite part so far, I love the skinny strips!! This is going to be beautiful! Thanks for playing along!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am very excited about this project. It is interesting to see how others are doing also.
DeleteEmily? I want to make it clear that the real "skinny strips" is actually pieces of striped fabric. I always look for easier ways to get something done. LOL.
