SAHRR Round Five

SAHRR Round Five! How can that be?! It seems like we just started, and now, after this week, we have one more border for our Stay at Home Round Robin quilts of 2022! 

Our host this week, is Quilting Gail. Gail came up with the idea for the SAHRR, did you know that? She is the one who organizes the rest of us co-hosts, and keeps us moving forward. I am so grateful to her for sharing her creative idea, and letting me be part of it. 

Each week, one of us who host chooses the block for the border. This week, Gail is giving us options! I love options, don’t you? This week, you get the choice of adding appliqué as your quilt border, or the rail fence block. You can even add both, if you wish. It’s your quilt! 

I really wanted to add appliqué to my border. I tried circles, I tried orange peels, I considered bias tape (seriously). No matter how I tried, though, it just didn’t feel right. So, I opted for some rail fence corner blocks, because a full border of rail fence would overwhelm the quilt, in my opinion.

My quilt now measures 43″ square, and has outgrown my little design wall. I had to resort to taping the quilt up on my bedroom closet doors to get a photo in some decent light. 

Last week, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how each of you used the Signature Block in your borders! You are such a creative bunch! Thanks for linking up! 

Now – go make your blocks for SAHRR Border 5, and don’t forget that this week you will link up with Gail. You can read her post and link up here

Happy sewing, all!
