2026 SAHRR: Playing with Doubles

This week's SAHRR prompt comes from Kathleen McMusing, "Make it a Double". My first approach was to go to Electric Quilt and type in "double" on the search line in the block library.  The Double X block looked interesting. 




I don't have a lot of lights in the left over fabrics I'm using for this quilt. I went with what seemed reasonable. 




My fabric choices didn't result in very distinct HST corners, but I'm OK with them being a bit muddy.  It's still a fun block and looks pretty good with what is already up on the design wall.  




My plan is to wait till I finish all the prompts before deciding where each block goes.  I wonder what the third prompt will be? 

Linking up with Kathleen McMusing, Patchwork & Quilts, and Sew and Tell Monday.

  9. I’ve made that Double X block before. I kind of remember sewing it together every possible wrong way before I got it right. Your blocks are so pretty.
