SAHRR Round 6
Well, here we are, ready to reveal the SAHRR Round 6, the final border for our Stay at Home Round Robin quilts. Today’s host is Chris Knits, and she’s chosen a great block for the final border! You’ll want to pop over, read her post, and see her gorgeous quilt today. Then make sure you go back to her site to link up when you have your border added to your quilt so we can all get a chance to see it. I think the variety of quilts this year is really fun!
Chris has chosen the shoo-fly block for the final round of our SAHRR 2022 quilts. The shoo-fly block is a quick little block to make. I was particularly delighted that I could make all of my blocks from left over scraps from my other borders. While I still have negative space in this border, I did space my blocks a little differently this time so it looks a bit more like a full border (or maybe I’m just kidding myself).
Initially, I had a really cool idea for the final border, so I took off sewing. About halfway done, I put it up on the design wall. It didn’t gel with the rest of the quilt. Rats. No worries, I just went with Plan B and it fit the rest of the quilt so much better. Would you like to see it?
I apologize for the photo. My quilt top is 50″ square, and I’ve outgrown my wall space for photos, so I had to resort to my closet doors! Anyway, you can see how I placed my shoo-fly blocks. This was such a fun quilt to make, I’m a little sad that it’s all pieced. It’s now in Connie’s hands, and I know she’ll work some amazing magic with the quilting!
Okay, it’s your turn to add your SAHRR Border 6 to your quilt! I’ll be waiting to see your lovely quilts!

What a lovely quilt you’ve finished, Wendy–I’ve enjoyed watching all of your and the participants’ progress on these SAHRRs. I love all the white space in yours a lot–with those lovely bits of colors dotted here and there
Really nice work hugs, Julierose

this is a “large” quilt for you isn’t it – I don’t recall seeing big quilts on your wall – It is looking good
Brenda @ Songbird Designs
Such a great quilt, Wendy! Love all the improv – very modern looking with all the white space for wonderful quilting!

It turned out great. Reminds me of confetti.

This quilt makes me think of a party: funfetti cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles. Okay, I’m obsessed with food. Hahah! It’s been fun to watch you create this fabric celebration.

This is turning out beautifully, Wendy! I love your happy and bright colors. The shoofly blocks look perfect the way you’ve set them. Sometimes you just have to go with plan B!
Nancy @ Grace and Peace Quilting
So bright and crisp! Cute ending to a fun quilt! Can’t wait to see how Connie quilts it!!!

Will you be binding it in the neutral or a colorful binding? I can’t wait to see Connie’s magic added to your fun top!
Laura
Looks terrific, Wendy! I am excited to see how it is quilted! 🙂
Karrin Hurd
Beautiful quilt, bright and cheery!
Rochelle Summers
Your right. That does make a nice border for this not-so-little quilt. It is so bright and cherry too. Can’t even guess what Plan A was but maybe you’ll share that in a future post. Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see this quilted. Have a great day.

I really love your SAHRR quilt! It is so bright and cheerful…it makes me smile! You did a great job incorporating the shoofly block into the final round.

Your SAHRR is SEW pretty! I love the shoo fly blocks in the corners and center of each round! It’s great! Love it!

I really like it, it looks so festive! My favorite part is the corner blocks with 3 colorful stripes and the gray space in between; that is an idea I have not seen before!

Hi Wendy! Your little shoo-fly blocks are just the icing on the overall fabulous vibe on your piece. The variety of colors, the randomness just makes them all the cuter. Love how this piece has come together. It is happy and it represents YOU so well. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
Janine @ Rainbow Hare
This is a lovely quilt – so fresh and bright and I really like those bright colours with all the negative space 🙂
Quilting is in my Blood
I’ve really enjoyed your interpretations of all the border prompts, and your shoo fly blocks are no exception. You have such a fun, colorful, and modern-looking quilt.

Wendy, I love it, simple and lots of open space for some fantastic quilting!

Wendy it’s beautiful! Can’t wait to see it all quilted and done!
Mari
I love how this turned out! All those pretty bright colors. I’m surprised it’s 50 inches, though. It looked much smaller in pictures. Great finish!

It just gets better and better
