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!

  14. 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.
