It's just about time for the 2026 Stay at Home Round Robin to start, and I've been getting ready for it. During the SAHRR for the last three years, I've used embroidered blocks as my center block and created a seasonal wall-hanging to display at different times of the year. So far I've made winter, spring, and summer.
So, of course, this year I need to make a fall-themed wall-hanging to complete the series. Last fall I specifically stitched this block with the 2026 SAHRR in mind. I've been thinking about fabrics to pair with it, and pulled out a bunch of Batik fat quarters that I won in the prize drawing from last year's QAL. Now I'm getting excited to get started!
Meanwhile, I've continued to work with my blue scraps to piece together a light blue placemat sized piece. The light blues that I pulled out of the bin had some triangles in them, so that became a theme in this one.
And now it has progressed to two crumb slabs that are wide enough and when sewn together will be the perfect size for a scrappy placemat!
I had a couple bigger pieces of the seagull print,
and I love them so much I just decided to leave them a bit bigger.
My next step will be to quilt these two placements and work on finishing them up before the end of the month!

You are all ready for the SAHRR. Your fall embroidery and those fabrics will look fabulous together. Gail at the cozy quilter
Great start to SAHRR! I'm having second thoughts about my starter block....
Yu've chosen great fabrics to accent your pretty fall embroidery for the SAHRR! I'm impressed with your crumb blocks turning into a placemat! Well done!
You had a very intentional plan for 2026 SAHRR back in the fall. The center block is so pretty and those batiks are going to work well with it. Your scrappy slab blocks are going to make a nice placemats, too.
Perfect projects for cold days. The fall stitchery for the center is just perfect, so cute.
Such a pretty bevy of Fall=ish batiks you've chosen for the SAHRR!!
I love that embroidered block--really nice work...hugs, Julierose
What a pretty block to start your SAHRR! I love the fabrics you've selected. Those crumb blocks are nice, I've always loved your "slabs". :)
You picked a great center block for this year's SAHRR. Your fabric choices are going to look really good with it. Now we just have to wait for the first prompt.
the fall theme with that embroidery will look great - the fabric is perfect for it.
Love your embroidered Centre block!! And that fabric is perfect for a fall wall hanging! Thank you for joining in the SAHRR fun and for linking up!
How gorgeous your center block is! Definitely worth the work of embroidering. I love the colors you have chosen also. This is will make a lovely fall quilt to enjoy this year.
You pulled out the perfect colors of batiks to use, you are set to roll with it;)
I love that you stitched that up with SAHRR in mind! I cannot wait to see this quilt grow!
Oh yes, you do need a fall themed quilt and look at the pretty fabrics you have chosen. Great job, Diann. I spy a butterfly in one of the fabrics , sigh. Love your crumb blocks too. Happy quilting. Hugs.
Great idea to use SAHRR to create seasonal quilts! Love this new Fall one. It'll be fun seeing it come together. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

What a great center block! I love your fabric pull and look forward to seeing it come together.
I have to post my first (yes, there will most likely be a couple!) RSC work. I like your light blue crumbs coming together into a placemat, and I just love your SAHRR starting point and that it will complete a set of them! Mine are always so random.
Great Center for your SAHRR - love the batiks you pulled too
Hi Diann, that's going to make another great seasonal hanging! Take care.
I've enjoyed your season quilts for the last couple of SAHRRs so I'm looking forward to seeing what yu will make for Fall :)
