Today is the day to share my SAHRR final border for my Round Robin quilt. The weeks have flown by, and it has been really fun to see all of your creative borders for your quilts. I’m a bit sad it’s coming to an end! If you’ve missed my earlier posts, here’s a quick little photo review of each border.
And that leaves us with Border 6, which is our SAHRR final border. Quilting Gail is our host today, and she has chosen the pinwheel block for our final border.
I decided to add four more square in a square blocks to this border, too, just for something a little different. My pinwheel blocks finish at 3 inches. With the addition of the green coping borders, my quilt has grown quite a bit. The top finishes at 54 inches.
And now it’s your turn to get busy making your pinwheel blocks for your final borders. I cannot wait to see what you come up with! But just a few things before you go:
Make sure you go visit Quilting Gail, not only to see her progress on her quilt, but also to find out more about the SAHRR parade on March 13th, prizes, and all that good stuff! Gail has done all the work of putting this fun quilt along together, including finding sponsors for all the prizes you have a chance to win! Thank you, thank you, Gail, for a fun quilt along!

Oh Wendy I love this! How are you going to quilt it?
Wendy this is perfect!! I love each of the rounds and how you put them into your quilt!
Thanks for sharing the progression of your design. I love how all the blocks are dancing around the sweet rocking robin!
Cheerful pinwheels! I love your last round, and your SAHRR top!
your design progressed nicely through the weeks – it has been fun watching to see what you were going to do with it
Hi Wendy! What a great way to finish your quilt top. It’s been a fun ride and you have yourself a pretty finish. I love those colorful pinwheels! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
That turned out so cute. I love the colors.
It really did grow up didn’t it! At times when I look at it I feel like I am looking down a tunnel and the robin is at the very end!
Pinwheels are the perfect final block! I love how your last border came together, Wendy. The bright colors of the blocks mixed with your gray background make a very pretty quilt!
Very nice.
I was trying to choose my favorite parts. I love the spools near the center and the pinwheels near the edge best.
Love the double square in a square and the pinwheels are terrific. This is a gorgeous quilt…and finished it will be stunning!
The final round is on and it looks great Wendy. I hope you have enough of the green to use it to bind. Your quilt top is wonderful.
54″ square is a great size for your finished quilt. Looks fantastic! Do you have enough of the green left to bind it with?
I love everything about it, Wendy!
Wow, finsihed…. Champion…. And so much harmony. The pinewheels are very good for the last round. Was afraid what will come. I think all colours can be used in the binding, I love to sew in one colour binding small pieces of all colours. I am sure The birds will come soon and sing and your snow goes away! Have a wonderfull week!
I’m a little sorry this over, too. I’ve loved seeing these quilt tops come together….not only yours but all the participants. I do like how you’ve made your last border and I hope we see the finished quilt in the not too distant future. What color of binding will you use?
Sew Beautiful!
I love it! I can hear the robin singing.
Fun to see the progression! I am looking forward to seeing how you quilt it! 🙂
What a beautiful, happy quilt.
I really like your colorful pinwheels. Your borders showcase the robin beautifully. I’ve started on my pinwheels and am really enjoying making this last border.
So fun to see the steps all together. It has turned out very cute and cheery. What are you thinking for the binding? Something to give it a little pop? Or thinking the cheeriness pops all on it’s on and going with the green?
The additional Square in a Square blocks were a great way to finish off your Pinwheel borders, Wendy!
I love how you’ve spaced the pinwheel blocks out! Fantastic!
Bit by bit, round by round and suddenly beauty and joy!!!
So pretty.
I love this quilt, as I say every week! I’ve enjoyed watching it grow 🙂
Wendy it is a beautiful quilt from start to finish.
It started pretty and ended pretty! Love seeing the progress.
Your SAHRR quilt is absolutely beautiful! The colors are great together, and I especially like the way you left spaces of the grey background fabric between the different elements of each border. It really gives some breathing room and keeps the whole thing from looking too busy. I love it!!
