Hi! It turns out that resistance was futile 😁 I've been watching the Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR) for a few years now and I finally have a little bit of time to play along. I didn't post my centre block the first week because I wasn't sure if I would actually get further than choosing a centre block....but I did!
A cheerful centre block

Round One - Spool Block
There is no doubt that these little spool blocks are not very accurate but in the middle of a quilt, it won't show too much. I was happy to find some of the same green fabric that's in my leaf. I know that I don't have many scraps left of the fabrics in the centre block but I hope to find a few more to add to the quilt.

| Round One - adding the spool block |
What I learned
- I'm happy with the way that I figured out how to make the spool block. I just wish that they had been a little more accurate but by the fourth one, I didn't care! What can I say, making several blocks is just not my idea of fun.
- Since there are five more rounds, I should be able to make a lovely baby quilt.
- I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone is making. I know that I will keep the blocks to a minimum but it will be a lot of fun!

ReplyDeleteI love the light-hearted feel of your quilt. The center is sprightly and the spools are cute.
ReplyDeleteHi Andree! You did a great job. That is a FUN center block. Don't feel like you need to make a lot of a block and you can always wait and see what the next prompt is. This project is going to be a fabulous baby quilt and I cannot wait to see how it progresses. You're doing great. Thanks so much for joining in and for linking up. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteMagnifique début, il est très beau ton centre. Les bobines sont réussies, et avec le même vert que les feuilles, c'est un bel ensemble. Un joli baby quilt floral et doux !
ReplyDeleteThe centre block flower is so great. Love your colours.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that center block, Andree, and those small spools worked well for cornerstones!
ReplyDeleteSo many have said they have never made a spool block, but look at you go! I can see why that center block makes you happy, it's so cheerful! Your spools look great, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty to start with - and yay!! for still liking it haha! The spools look great around it!!
