Midweek Update

Round Two of the Stay at Home Round Robin is being hosted by Anja over at Anja Quilts, and her prompt was to use two colors to make any block or border design.  So I've been playing with more sunny yellow this week!

I started with some strip sets - 


which were trimmed into 2.5 inch squares - 


which were sewn into these - 


And with the addition of some corner HSTs, became this!


After those final longer seams, the second border of my SAHRR is complete.

Now it is 16.5 inches square, and, yes, my block is square, 
not wonky like the photo makes it look!

And it's definitely fun and lemony!

Love your additions to your SAHRR. I like that you started small; it creates all new possibilities for my creative side. Love the bright colors and your amazing embroidered center.

I like how your cornerstones and the HSTs in the corners make your top look it has rounded corners. (And I’m still craving lemonade.

Your border reminds me of lemon slices! It looks great with your gingham border!

Great job! Love your lemony slices! And the HSTs do give it a rounded corner look. Just like JanineMarie said! Looking forward to Round 3!

This is a great round Diann! I started off doing 2.5" squares but wasn't a fan of the colours, and went in a slightly different direction.
