SAHRR starts today!

January 10, 2022

The SAHRR starts today! SAHRR – Stay at Home Round Robin – a fun quilt along hosted by Quilting Gail. Gail asked a few of us to co-host with her once again this year, and I am looking forward to sharing the border I chose with you. For information on the SAHRR and how it works, pop on over to Quilting Gail’s site by clicking here and read through her post. She’s done a great job of explaining how it all works. We’d love to have you join in and sew along with us. This is a no-stress, traditional block round robin, so please join us! 

For the kickoff today, it’s all about the center block. The block you choose can be an orphan block, a newly-created block, a panel – whatever you choose. Gail has a linky party on her post today, which you can read here and once you’ve chosen your block, you can link it up there. Each week there will be a linky party, at the host site for that week. 

For my center block, I have decided to do something a little different from my 2021 SAHRR (which you can see here). While my 2021 SAHRR quilt was traditional, this year I am going to go with all solid fabrics and use improv blocks. Don’t panic – the improv is just for me and my quilt. When I show you the border I’ve chosen for this year’s SAHRR, it will be shown to you traditionally pieced. It will not be an improv border. I hope that makes sense – if not, leave me a comment if you have questions or need clarification. 

So here’s my block.

Oops – technical difficulties! Let’s try that again.

There we go! My block hasn’t been squared. I’m waiting until I add the first border to decide whether my block will be square or wonky. So you’ll have to stop back next Monday and see what I chose to do! 

My background fabric will be Kona Silver. I hope to use all solid fabrics from my stash to up the challenge a bit more. My solid stash is a lot less than my prints, so we’ll see how it goes!

I haven’t seen any of the blocks chosen by Gail and the rest of the co-hosts, so I’m excited to see theirs today. I’m also excited to see YOUR blocks!  So let’s get this party started! Here’s the schedule for the SAHRR with links to our blog:

I’m so excited that the SAHRR starts today, and I do hope you’ll be joining in and sewing with us. So go find your center block (if you haven’t already) and get set to have some fun! 

See you next week!
