I am happy to be keeping up with the directives so far on this Stay At Home Round Robin. This week's prompt was from Kathleen McMusing to "Make It A Double". It can be anything that has "double" in its name, or related to number 2.
I took the easy road and chose a simple double churn dash. Because the last border was hourglass blocks, I felt a simpler border would be more complimentary. But that also means that next week I have to step it up!
After auditioning fabrics, I decided upon the bubblegum pink and bright yellow with orange swirls. I love this combination as it reminds me of candy for some reason.
I added a plain white coping border, but when I added the first churn dash border I realized that I did not extend it on all sides (see pic), thus the corner is a bit different than the pink border...but I like it. Sometimes errors can be serendipity!So she is pressed and ready for the next round. Thank you, Kathleen for hosting our entries!
I finally made the time to go up north and pick up my gray double 4-patch quilt that was done at my long arm quilter. I took up 2 more tops to be quilted. One was my Tilda Christmas top.
And the other was a leader/ender project that I finished, my Christmas Irish Chain. So when they get back and I put the bindings on, I will be ready for Christmas this December.It has been very cold in our area these past 2 weeks. It was minus 12 degrees last night. Brr. This was the view of my road after turning out of the driveway Thursday. The main roads were better...but not by much. I hope everyone is staying warm and safe!
Happy Stitching!






I really like the colors of your double churn dash. They complement your center block beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie. Colors can really set the mood, right?
DeleteThat picture of the cold and snowy landscape at the close of your post means I have to go and put on another sweater--oh my! Please be careful and stay warm. And I loved seeing all your quilt finishes. You *are* ready for Christmas 2026.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I love the serendipity of your two different corner finishes for your double church dash borders--they are interesting and really frame the beautiful center so well. I look forward to seeing this one grow!
Thank you! I can't wait to begin the "animal" prompt and see what others have done.
DeleteNice border for your quilt! It turned out really well!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wendy! I appreciate your comment.
DeleteYour SAHRR is looking great!
ReplyDeleteThank you! This is my first SAHRR and am learning so much!
DeleteI think your double churn dash is perfect :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I love your teal and reds colors on your SAHRR. I was unable for some reason to leave a comment that would "post". Anxious to see what everyone does with the next prompt.
DeleteThe double churn dash frames out your lovely center beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Yvonne! I appreciate your encouragement.
ReplyDeleteYour pretty borders are just perfect with those churn dashes! I love those colors too. Anything that reminds us of candy is a good thing. :D Your Christmas Irish chain is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh that is just perfect! It looks so pretty! xx
