I’m inviting you to stitch along with us in 2024, as we join together for another Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR). Hosted by Quilting Gail, she gathered a few of us during the pandemic and we began the SAHRR quilt along. We had so much fun, we’ve continued the SAHRR each year. SAHRR 2024 will begin in January, so there’s time for you to make plans to stitch along with us. Let me show you my past round robin quilts, followed by a link to more information for the upcoming SAHRR.
My first SAHRR quilt, made in 2021:
The star in the center block is from blue wool; the rest of the block is cotton. While i was working on it, I wasn’t sure I would like the quilt when it was done, but it’s now one of my favorites.
My SAHRR 2022 quilt is quite a bit different from my first.
For those of you who have followed me for awhile, you know I love improv quilting. This was so much fun to make, and Connie used her amazing longarm skills to make the design shine.
My SAHRR 2023 gave a nod to the theme of “round robin”.
The center block was a test block I made for Sandra Healy Designs. It seemed right to use a robin block for the Stay at Home Round Robin. The first green border was initially added because I was going to make traditional spool blocks. Then I got the idea to use raw edge applique to make tumbling spools. I liked the green border so much, I added it between each round.
I cannot wait to show you what I’ve chosen for my center block this year. It will be a bit of a new twist for me, and the uniqueness of the block takes it up a notch (and makes me a bit nervous). I’ll explain more about that when I show you my block in a future post.
How do you join in?
Gail has done a huge amount of work getting all the details in place for SAHRR 2024. She not only managed to get all of us co-hosts organized, she also found some amazing sponsors. This is going to be a fun year!
You can learn more details about SAHRR 2024 in Gail’s post HERE.
Gail has a wealth of information in that post, so it’s worth reading, even if you are just curious about how this is done (but I hope you’ll join us!). This is a very relaxed, low stress quilt along. Your block stays with you, you choose how you are going to use the borders in each round, and you will have fun meeting other quilters and seeing what they are creating.
Hoping you will stitch along with us in 2024!

Last year was my first year to play along, it was such fun. So I’m on board for another round robin. I know what I want my center block to be and have my fabrics picked out. I’m looking forward to another fun year round robin.
I can’t wait to see your center block. I had to laugh at you being “a bit nervous” – lol! I will watch and cheer everyone on from the sidelines this year.
Looking forward to seeing the direction you’re heading in 2024, Wendy. While I don’t have my starting block, I think I know what my theme will be. We’ll see if that holds…
those quilts all turned out really lovely
After revisiting the photographs of your three beautiful round robin quilts I am tempted to join, but my stitching plate for next year is already pretty full. Mmmm
I love seeing your SAHRR quilts, Wendy! They’re each unique and beautiful. I’ve had fun joining in each year and looking forward to it again in 2024. I’ve even got my center block picked out, too!
I like how different your three quilts are. It looks like you take this opportunity to explore new directions each year! I will be following along to see what everyone comes up with.
It’s nice to see the game continue for another year. I plan to participate in 2024, knowing full well that my travel and social calendar will be pretty full in the early months. So my quilt is likely to be smaller and less ambitious than the last three were.
I am in Wendy! Center block is selected and some fabric is already pulled for it. Let’s go!!
Oooh, now I’m really excited to see what you have in store for next year. Your starting block sounds intriguing!
Hmmm. I have a block in mind. If I can get my few UFO’s [where did those come from!?!] done before then, I think I might actually give this a go.
I’m planning to join in again this year. The last two years have been so much fun!
I enjoy seeing your 3 in a row, Wendy!!! Can’t wait to see what direction you take it in 2024!
I’m in! It was such a fun last year 😉
I am looking forward to all your quilty adventures in the new year. If 2023 is any indication, I am sure you will continue to create joy and inspire all of us. Big Hugs to you!
I’ve enjoyed seeing your SAHRR quilts coming together so I’ll be looking out to see what you do this year. I’m quite tempted to join in and see I can get back to sewing bit more…
I am always intrigued by what you’re doing. I hope to join in on the SAHRR. Last year was a pleasant challenge. Happy sewing.
