Monday began Round 1 of SAHRR for 2022!
Anja's choice to start this year is..the curved-block. Now I don't do much curved piecing so I hemmed and hawed about what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to try to keep each round to no more than 3". My original thought would have needed a filler border to make the size work out. I scraped that idea but I had already added the borders. My final decision was to just add a drunkard's path block to each corner. To make it more interesting, I pieced the bars between each corner in opposite colors from the drunkard's path block. This round nicely frames the original block.
I'm linking to Anja Quilts.
I also finished 2 blocks for the January/February block drive. Kat choice of blocks for the beginning of the year is a string block. We are using the pattern from 2019. They will be in the mail soon.
I have been working on another quilt but I can't say much about it yet. I will leave you with a sneak peek.
You're off to a good start on the SAHRR! I love the curved corners. Your CiL blocks look good, too. I need to make some of those!
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn! I love your idea for the DP blocks in the corners. It certainly does give the piece a rounded, continuous frame. I never would have thought of doing that - I need to PIN it so I remember it in the future. Cool idea! I'm so glad you're playing along. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteIngenious design. I really like how it turned out. What a simple yet perfect way to add to your block. I can't wait to see what else you will come up with. time4stitchn
ReplyDeleteThat’s a really nice start to your sweet block! I used drunkard’s path myself for the first time, so I’m intrigued with others’ ideas. Your treatment is very effective!
ReplyDeleteI like your SAHRR border in that soft green fabric. The DP blocks in the corners was a clever idea. It keeps the eye moving around the center block.
ReplyDeleteI like your alternate directions in the curves. That is a really pretty block!
