Here are the purple and the blue Round Robin Quilts with the arrows added.  I’m happy that I have enough Island Batik fabric to complete these 2 quilts.  I used the Accuquilt Go to make the flying geese (Dies 4 & 5 from the 8″ Cube set).

I had a few “hiccups” as I was making the arrow borders.  See the video for details!

Next Round: Part 5

The next round for the Round Robin is squares.  It can be anything … wonky squares, square in a square, 4 or 9 patches – the choice is yours.

A Friday Finish

This week on the Facebook guild page the challenge was to make a “heart” quilt … any size …  People in the Vancouver area are putting hearts in their windows to honour the front line workers during the pandemic.   I decided to make a quilt that would be large enough to hang in the window so that it could be clearly seen from the street.  I used this pattern: Color My Heart Mini Quilt from the Fat Quarter Shop.  It’s a nice easy pattern.  However, typical of me, I adjusted the pattern and used 6½” blocks to make it bigger.  It turned out bigger than I wanted and that meant I had to piece the backing.  Oh well, it’s done now!

Yes, I used more of my Dr. Suess fabrics … I still have some left, but not a lot!  It was fun to quilt it with hearts of all shapes and sizes!

One who sleeps under a quilt is covered by LOVE!

Happy Quilting!

  1. Hello Gail, A Stay Ay Home Round Robin is a brilliant idea. Also, I love your hearts quilt. It must have been fun enlarging a pattern for a mini!
    Thank you for linking up with Free Motion Mavericks!

  3. Love that heart, and especially the heart quilting! So cute! I’ve heard different movements of things in windows (bears, hearts, rainbows) but haven’t seen any in my area.

    I really love your round robin quilts! Makes me think the medallion quilt challenge may not be worth dreading 🙂 You make it look fun and easy!

    • Hi Emily!
      Thanks! The heart is SEW easy!!!
      I wasn’t even thinking of the medallion challenge when I started this … I’ll need to look into that more closely – but it’s not due for a long time yet!
      Happy Quilting! 🙂

      • The Medallion challenge is the one I’m, not so much dreading, just not looking forward to. I typically don’t like borders and a quilt that’s all borders has never sounded like fun to me. Happy Quilting 🙂

  5. These are looking good, and so different with the way you’ve done the arrows. I am now behind on mine, as I’m trying to talk hubby into the arrows round. He wants me to stop now, but maybe with round 5 being squares, I can stop after that. Of course, I could always start another!
