SAHRR – Week 2

Happy Friday, Friends.

Today I am sharing my progress on the Stay At Home Round Robin project (SAHRR). Gail at quiltinggail.com is hosting but this week’s prompt was given to us from Kathleen at Kathleen McMusing.


I previously shared my center block here.


Kathleen’s challenge for us this week was to incorporate a King’s Crown block into our first border. Or we could select any block whose name began with the initial of our first name. I stayed with the King’s Crown block.

My center block has been cut down to 10 ½” x 12”


I decided to add 3 1/2” (unfinished) King’s Crown blocks to each corner. 

And because the components are so small, I used SeamAlign glue instead of pins to hold the pieces together for sewing


I plan to add strips of coordinating fabric to connect the corner blocks to the center but want to see what next week’s prompt is first. I’m hoping to keep this small but who knows…


I’ve never done anything like this before, but I think it is a good challenge. I’m sure I will learn something along the way.


I’m behind on the Witching Hour SAL and will work to catch up over the next few days.


Enjoy your weekend!

I need to get my first round sewn. I haven't really decided on which block yet. I like your idea for this.

Linda said...

Your tiny blocks are perfect for that pretty center block. Thanks for the tip on the glue!

Really nice choice for your corners--i find doing a "medalllion style" where you have to add borders VERY challenging.
Good idea to wait for the next prompt...
I totally failed at BB1 SAL on[ Audrey's site ("Quilty Folks")] last year. Now I am working on my Comfort Cloth (yr long SAL) and I finally got the pieces pinned around this past week...phew--too many choices...today I hope to sew them to the backing piece...
Hugs, Julierose

I love the way this looks and it will be fun to see what choices you make on the next round!

Those blocks are perfect for your SAHRR start, Jeanna! I often make a few blocks that go with the prompt and wait and see what happens next before sewing anything together. I had to use some glue on my tiny Dresdens, too. I haven't tried your product, will have to look for it!

I would probably wait until all the prompts were in if I ever did a SAHRR, to much of a control freak perhaps, LOL.

Your plan is looking beautiful. I have not tried the seam glue, but it sounds helpful.

Jeanna said...

Thank you so much.
I find the glue works really well on the tiny pieces. It doesn’t take much.
Enjoy your weekend!

Pretty corner blocks for your SAHRR. Good idea to wait for the next or all prompts before sewing it together. Love the centre.

Rosemary Dickinson said...

I love your choice for the corner blocks. So small! I think it's smart to wait for the clue. You'll make better choices.

That fabric glue sounds like a great help for keeping tiny scraps in place. >💗💗💗💗

Susan said...

Kate said...

Such tiny blocks! You've got a great start on a beautiful SAHRR.

You are off to a good start! I like those little blocks. Will be fun to see what you decide to do next week!

Pat at Bell Creek Quilts said...

You did a great job on your blocks but so tiny! Oh MY!

Jackie said...

That is going to be an awesome block. Very tiny though.

God bless.
