The 2025 SAHRR: Round #1

The Stay At Home Round Robin is off and running for 2025. 



I really enjoy the design part of the challenge. My problem is limiting my designs to something I can actually make in a week. At least my first border was an easy sew. Kathleen McMusing set the first prompt: either a King's Crown block or make blocks that begin with the your first initial.  My name starts with a "K", though some people spell it with a "C", so I kept that as a potential option.  You can actually query Google with a search "quilt blocks that start with the letter K".  So that's where I started and pretty quickly found a potential option. After playing around in EQ, this is what I ended up with.   



The piano Key border worked out nicely.  Maybe I fudged a bit with the rules, but that's part of the fun with this challenge.  I wonder what prompt #2 is going to be.

Piano Keys are an excellent interpretation of the prompt for this week! I love how you are setting yourself up for a rectangular finish, too.

Your piano keys look great. I'm toying with the idea of Snowballs.

You did not fudge the rules. I kind of finagled the rules myself. Very nice piano Keys!

I don't think there are any quilt police in this challenge. You made an excellent choice that suits your project. I'm seeing other clever interpretations.

I like the piano Key addition. I may use that even though it doesn't match my name at all.

You are my SAHRR inspiration with the KEY to another great quilt.

Nann said...

P.S. and the KEY is a lot easier than kaleidoscope.

Danice G said...

Very pretty work. Those colors are so bright and colorful too.

Jeanna said...

The piano key border looks great around your center block. I love the fabrics, too!

This is a fantastic spin on the border prompt! I know what the coming week's border is, but not telling! Haha.
