Did you see all the Round #5s from last week’s Link Party? You can see them HERE.

We have reached the LAST prompt for this year’s SAHRR!!! I don’t know about you, but the time has flown by!

Anja has the last prompt of the SAHRR in 2026. She has chosen Quilter’s Choice. That’s right, YOU get to chose which block or blocks you want to do!

I chose to make Migrating Geese following the Youtube video by Studio 180 Designs. You can access the video HERE. The video tells you the exact size that you need to cut your fabric and how to sew the geese together. If you follow the video, it’s super easy to do!

Here it is:

Be sure to link up your Round #6 at Anja’s blog: Anja Quilts

The fabric I am using for this years SAHRR is Lumin Fabrics (Island Batik) “Radiant Burst” by Jerry Khiev, along with the Egg White neutral and solid white.

KJ H says, “Picture of the actual block, plus its temporary location in the whole quilt.“

Rosie said, “Round 2 is Twin Sister Block, Round 3 in the corners is Birds in the Air, and Round 4 circles are on top of 3.”

Robin said, “OMG!! I’ll never be a pattern designer!!🤪”. But she’s doing a fantastic job!

Rosie said, “I cut red, white and blue 2″ strips for a spacer border all around the quilt. I decided to wait to address my size adjustments in the next round.”

Katie says, “I finally figured out how to sew all the parts together and got my fish attached. No whale yet!”

Here’s Donna R’s:
