I joined Gail at quiltinggail.com for her annual Stay At Home Round Robin for the first time.
All of the ladies that co-hosted with her were
Kathleen at kathleenmcmusing
Anja at anjaquilts
Wendy at piecefulthoughts
Brenda at songbirddesigns and
Emily at thedarlingdogwood
Each suggested blocks for a round making up the quilt.
I surprised myself by keeping up with each week even thought I haven't gotten it quilted yet. It was a lot of fun trying to come up with a particular block for each round. It turned out to be kind of a story of my life.
The center block is a paper pieced block of the lighthouse from my hometown in Michigan.
Round 1 prompt was a block that starts with the first letter of your first name. I chose Road to Oklahoma that is where I met my husband.
Round 2 prompt was half square triangles. Mine is called Fox and Geese, a game we played as kids.
Round 3 prompt was stars. Friendship Star was my choice because I've made a lot of friends during my journey.
Round 4 prompt was slice and insert. Perfect for the Alabama State Flag which is where we reside now.
Round 5 prompt was partial log cabin. I chose a wonky log cabin to represent the rundown mobile home we had on the lake.
Round 6 prompt was a kite or another starting with the first letter of your first name. I opted to include both. Some kites and a block called Roll of the Dice because that's what I do to decide which project I will be working on each week.
Thank you, ladies for hosting this project. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to get it quilted soon.
I actually had some finishes during this time that I hope to get posted soon.
Until next time.....
Wishing you more stitchin time than I will have.
Rose
