hing parade all of my fabrics are from island batik s foundations i made a few minor changes to cheryl s pattern the advantage of starting once the design is revealed cheryl also does an un mystery for those who don t want to commit without knowing the design i cut out the partial blocks at the top and bottom and chose something other than the background fabric for the center of the stars i will use the same fabric from the chains as the binding giving it a bit of a frame this is for a teacher whose favorite colors are blue and green one of the best parts of these mysteries is seeing all the different color and fabric combinations that people use hundreds of quilters participate there will be a finishing parade next week on cheryl s blog posted by emily at 9 08 pm 3 comments labels island batik teacher quilts sunday march 29 2026 stay at home round robin finish the stay at home round robin is such a fun way to start the year i can t believe we re at the end already thanks to everyone who has sewn along i love how different everyone s quilts turn out i am a few days late posting my sahrr finish my dad passed away last week and i m off my schedule and off my game i was fortunate enough to make it across the country to be with him when he passed and i had just been out a few weeks before and spent time with him here s a picture of him from 2019 with the tea cozy he asked me to make him my apologies for the late post and i appreciate everyone s understanding i did my sahrr as a row by row this year when we last met i had completed each row but had not sewn them together there were a total of 7 rows 6 hostess rounds and the opening round opening round would have been the center had i done a medallion style quilt because my rounds were all different block sizes i used filler on the edges to get each row to 56 wide here are those 7 rows together as they were after anja s round 6 i used a 10 stack of the garden gate collection by island batik i also had 2 yards of a light fabric which i used as the background and 2 yards of a purple fabric i used a little of the purple in the rows but saved most of it so i would have it for sashing i put a 1 finished strip of purple inbetween the rows i did not keep the rows in the order in which i made them i picked the layout that i thought looked most pleasing overall i then decided i wanted it a little bigger so i added a wide outer border as well it measures approximately 60 x 80 i am calling this garden rows it s just a top for now as i did not have time to quilt it kathleen has the final link up the linky will close tuesday night and on saturday the hostesses will get together and draw for prizes thanks again to our generous sponsors who are listed at the end of this post i hope you have all enjoyed the stay at home round robin 2026 and yes we are planning 2027 the stay at home round robin is one of my favorite projects all year and i am thrilled that we will back with another round pun intended next year stay at home round robin sponsors posted by emily at 9 31 pm 5 comments labels island batik stay at home round robin wednesday february 25 2026 round robin 6 quilter s choice it s the last round of the stay at home round robin this project always go so fast this week you will link up with anja she says quilter s choice choose whatever you think your quilt needs for its final round and link up this week then come back in a month for our parade of finishes you can display either a finished top or a finished quilt for the parade that opens on march 25th for each week you link up you get an entry into our prize drawing to be done after the parade of finishes prizes and sponsors are listed at the end of the post my biggest challenge for this round was background fabric i originally intended to use the 2 large cuts from garden gate that i had equally for background but i ended up using the lighter multi as my background by default the darker purple just didn t work as well in the blocks i had some hourglass units for my first attempt at brenda s round 1 that i didn t use so i created a block using those units and i added what i had of the lighter fabrics in the collection where i would have used background had i had enough i needed a few more hourglass units plus enough of the background to put sashing in between blocks and at the edges i pieces every little scrap i had together and while i made it through the blocks i didn t have enough to make the row the same width as the others gail to the rescue she had some left from her garden gate project last fall and was generous enough to send it to me hooray i was able to finish my row the photos are from before the fabric arrived in the mail i now have seven rows one of the things i like about doing the sahrr as a row by row is that it s easy to move the rows around so i m not stuck with the order we chose the rounds i m going to play with what arrangement i think looks best and i ll have a completed top

comments labels stay at home round robin wednesday february 18 2026 round robin 5 two colors welcome back to the stay at home round robin it s been so fun to see all of these quilts take shape this week our mastermind gail tells us what to do she says this round is two colors so you can do whatever you want but only use two colors if you wish you may use two colors plus background the background fabric i m using in my blocks is multi colored but i m declaring that single fabric as one color for the sake of this round then my second color is purple each block has two purple fabrics but they are both definitely purple so i m saying that counts therefore my two colors are background and purple this round actually helped me out a lot because i m running out of fabric i m using a 10 stack layer cake of garden gate from lumin fabrics and i m down to mostly scraps luckily i have a 2 yard cut of one of the darker purples so i was able to combine that with some of the other purples in the collection for this round i think that dark purple is photographing darker than it actually is i promise that s it s clearly purple in person and not black these blocks are 8 finished i made 6 of them and added 1 sashing in between and added enough on the rows to come out to 56 even though it s off center in the photo gail has the linky for this week remember each week that you link up gets you an entry into our prize drawing at the end of the round robin we have some really great sponsors and amazing prizes the full list is at the end of this post one of the best parts of the sahrr is everyone

all of your finished sahrrs posted by emily at 4 00 am 9 comments labels stay at home round robin wednesday february 11 2026 round robin 4 curves welcome back to the stay at home round robin i had such a good time seeing what everyone did with the animal kingdom prompt there were so many great blocks appliques and animal print fabrics and some folks found blocks i had not heard of i did visit everyone who linked up but had trouble commenting on a few ironically it s blogger blogs that seem determined not to let me comment despite being a blogger user myself so know that i love seeing all your animal kingdom interpretations even those i was unable to comment on this week it is wendy s turn to tell us what to sew and she picked curves now anyone who knows me knows that i do not enjoy sewing curves so this prompt was a bit more of a challenge for me i did consider appliqueing the curves which is completely legit for this round but ultimately i decided to embrace the challenge so i picked a block with pieced curves i ve long been in interested in the flowering snowball block accuquilt does have a die for that block but i do not own it and it felt like a lot to purchase for a sahrr round so i looked for templates the only f ree template i found was here and it made a 6 block i know that the smaller the block the more difficult the curve so i enlarged the template my blocks ended up around 9 they aren t exact but that didn t matter i made five blocks and sewed them together without sashing as sashing would have broken up the curved shapes i added filler at the ends to get to a row that is 56 here are my rows so far wendy has the linky this week remember each week that you link up gets you an entry into our prize drawing at the end of the round robin we have some

it s my turn to set the prompt this week we re taking inspiration from the animal kingdom any animal counts from the smallest ant to the biggest of sharks there are lots of ways to interpret animal kingdom here are some ideas a block or unit named after an animal bear paw monkey wrench snail s trail birds in the air shoo fly puss in the corner there are so many looking for something simple there s always that classic quilt unit flying geese applique of an animal pieced block that looks like an animal fabric that contains animals i had a lot of fun looking at classic quilt blocks with animals in the name ultimately i went with the bear paw block in addition to being a great classic block it s easy to make scrappy and still look great since i m using a 10 stack layer cake scrappy helps me use the fabric i have i am using the garden gate collection by island batik for lumin fabrics i really like the combination of colors in this fabric line i made 5 bear paw blocks these are 10 finished i added 1 sashing in between then added spacers on the end to get a row that is 56 here are the rows i have so far i am so excited to see what inspiration you take from the animal kingdom remember
