Round 3 of this year's SAHRR was to make hour glass blocks. I cut the squares for my hour glass blocks at 5.5" then made large HST's. Chris gives a tutorial on how to make hour glass blocks on her SAHRR post.
I trimmed the blocks to 4.5", they measure 4" finished.
My large hour glass block measures 16.5". This block will be in row 2 of my quilt.
Row 1 of my quilt is partially finished. It measures 40.5" now but I'll add more on each side to bring the width measurement to 60".
The checkerboard pieces came from the orphan box, so nice they were already pieced!
Here are some of the bits and pieces that will go into my quilt.
I didn't really intend to make blue & white quilt but that seems to be what is happening!

Great direction you are going with this!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't intended a blue/white/yellow quilt myself, and I am trying to figure out how to add another color! But it really is a pretty combo.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is very lovely. I think that a restrained color palette is useful when a quilt has so many different shapes.
ReplyDeleteYour SAHRR will be very interesting as you are making blocks instead of round rows.
ReplyDeleteGretchen I do like your SAHRR project. So much fun to do it your own way and not make borders, but instead do a Sampler and use up some orphan bits as well. Good luck this week Hope you have lots of fun stitching. Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteSo many fun and interesting blocks in you SAHRR project. I do love seeing your blue quilts.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting take on a Round Robin! Love how this is coming together row by row. Love it so much! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
