SAHRR 2025 – Quilt Parade

I enjoyed participating in Quilting Gail’s Stay At Home Round Robin challenge this year. She and her team of talented quilters dished out a ton of fun.

This is the little block I started with for the SAHRR…


I was able to incorporate all, except one, of the challenge blocks into a quilt top that measures 34” x 34”.


I had a hard time getting the kite block to measure 3 ½”, which is my border size. So, I made a 6 ½” full kite block.


It will be pieced into the backing.

My fabrics are all from the French General line called Antoinette.


Thank you, Gail and friends, for a fun time. Now I have an older embroidered piece that can be displayed at Christmas.

 

I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start.  See you soon!


Also linking up at Wednesday Wait Loss where Jennifer gathers lots of talented quilters to share what they've been working on.

Jeanna , your quilt looks amazing! I love the fabrics that you used; they are scrumptious. Great idea on using the kite block on the back. It will make the backing extra special. Have a lovely day. Hugs.

Jeanna, that turned out so, so pretty! I love your starting block, and I love the placement of that neat kite on the back. I am drooling over the French General fabrics. Great job!

This block really "grew" into a lovely piece, Jeanna;))) Great idea to use that block on the back to tie it all together...Nice work...
Hugs, Julierose

Your SAHRR turned out wonderfully, Jeanna! I love those blues and reds together - such pretty fabric. The kite block would make a great label since you plan to use it on the back!

Very pretty! You at least stuck with the challenge block, I went off script because I couldn't make the kit block work in my layout. What a great idea to use it on the back.

Jeanna your quilt is so sweet and pretty. Sorry I must have missed yours in the Link Party earlier.

Betty C said...

You built all the clues around your block very nicely.

Quilting Gail said...
