SAHRR Border 6

SAHRR Border 6! How did we get to the final border of the 2025 Stay at Home Round Robin so quickly? Does it feel to you like the time flew by, too? I have had so much fun visiting your blogs and seeing your quilts. There is such a variety of quilts between us!

So here’s the schedule, one last time:

January 13: Center Block Reveal.
January 20: 1^st Round: Kathleen @ Kathleen McMusing
January 27: 2^nd Round: Anja @ Anja Quilts
February 3: 3^rd Round: Gail @ Quilting Gail
February 10: 4^th Round: Wendy @ Pieceful Thoughts
February 17: 5^th Round: Brenda @ Songbird Designs
February 24: 6^th Round: Emily @ The Darling Dogwood – Link up with Emily this week!
March 24: Parade: showing all of your finished SAHRRs!

Emily of The Darling Dogwood is our host this week, and she has chosen the Kite Block for our last border. Be sure to visit Emily’s blog for her tips and instructions for this border. Plus, you can see her pretty quilt she’s making this year.

So, the Kite Block. There are a few versions out there, but I didn’t have much success finding one that finishes at 3 inches. So I drafted up my own by the old pencil and paper method. It took a few practice runs to get it just right. I wanted to combine this block with last week’s border, so I only made four Kite Blocks to go in the corners of my quilt.

Since this is the last border, I had a little fun with the coping border, extending it to frame the Kite Blocks. I think it helps those tiny blocks stand out a little more.

And with that, my 2025 SAHRR quilt top is finished. It measures 49 inches square. Today it is going to Connie, my long arm quilter, so she can stitch her magic into the top. I have enjoyed creating this quilt this year. It definitely was not the quilt I thought I was going to make, but I’m very happy with it.

Don’t forget to link up this week, so we can see your Kite Block borders. Remember, when you link up, you have a chance at winning a prize. Here’s the list of sponsors once again, just to remind you of their generosity!
