Work in Progress Wednesday

My Stay at Home Round Robin is now in the finishing phase, and the first job has been to add coping strips to the blocks I've made so that they fit the current sides of the center.  The double slice blocks that I made for round 2 were only 3 inches square, so I've been adding strips to bring them up to 3.5 inches square.

The added benefit of that has been that these blocks can now kind of dance around at different angles instead of being all oriented the same way.

Then additional fabric was added to make the whole set into a border strip.


I've doing the same thing with the birds in the air and friendship star blocks, but they didn't need quite as much work as the double slice blocks.  Almost ready to sew these borders together now!


The final link-up for the 2026 Stay at Home Round Robin starts on March 25th, so I've got three weeks to finish it up!
