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!
