First up, my Roosting Round Robin that I’m doing two of – this one is my civil war fabrics one.
I did an initial post on the fabrics and my first block here.
This time I had two blocks to do.
The first round after the starting block was to use triangles.
I decided to try one of the blocks in the latest Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks magazine.
Here’s the block:
This block is named, “Flying ‘Round” by Marilyn Foreman of quiltmoments.com {block 1565 of Quiltmaker’s 100 blocks vol.16.)
I used my blue background quilt and one of the white prints to make the spinning pinwheel stand out. I liked this block because it let me make good use of my 2 1/2″ strips.
Block 2 needed to be a log cabin. Again I wanted to use my 2 1/2″ strips effectively and use lots of them!
I simply started with a red 2 1/2″ square and added to it with 2 1/2″ strips. I stopped when it measured 12 1/2″ – can’t get much simpler than that!
Then I spent a little time playing with setting ideas. As a member of the planning committee I know what the next rounds will be (shhhh!) I think setting everything on point will work out nicely!
Next up, to work on the modern mystery!
With Joy,
Sarah V.
