SAHRR – 2024

I didn’t intend to start something new with all the ufos that I have to finish. I follow Laura Kate’s blog, Daily Fiber, and am going to do this year’s round robin. I’m always a week behind because I don’t belong to the group and just jump in with the block of the week after Laura Kate posts hers. It’s interesting to see how the other ladies design their blocks. 

I decided to use only what is in my stash this time. Years ago, I won fabric sample fabric at the local quilt shop. There isn’t enough fabric to make anything, so it has been sitting in the drawer for a long time. There are two color ways.

The teal and blue are colors that I use, but the orange and purple are not. Which one should I choose?

I decided that if I didn’t choose the orange and purple it would go to the bottom of the pile again. Then, I went to the hand dyed drawer. There are lots of fabrics that go with the orange and purple fabric. I pulled out a few to see how they would look. 

There are still more that I can pull if I run out.

The block this week is the signature block. My plan is to use a fabric from the hand dyed and one from the fabric sample on each round. I’ll choose the colors as I go. The purple is from the sample and the orange is from the hand dyed.

 

The center is one 9″ block. I couldn’t cut up the angry birds. They are cute. Hopefully, this will be big enough for a baby quilt. 

Have a great day and happy quilting.
