Welcome to the final round of our Stay at Home Round Robin. Gail is the mastermind behind the Stay at Home Round Robin and she gathered 7 other bloggers to help host. This week it is Gail's turn to pick and she picked pinwheels!
You may remember that after the star round, my corners were empty. Well, I put those Round #7 pinwheels into a star block! I kept these the same as each other to have some consistency among the corners.
Since this is the final round, I added a thin border of the same blue that is the background for the polar bear in the center. All fabrics are Island Batik; most are from the Glacier View collection.
If you are playing along, we are saving the final linky party until the end of the month so you can finish up your top or maybe get really ambitious and quilt it too! I hope to have mine quilted and bound by March 29th, when the linky will be hosted by Gail of Quilting Gail. Hopefully by then I will have figured out a name for this quilt as well. Any suggestions?

ReplyDeleteNice, Emily!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, is your quilt ever pretty! I just realized I have a mistake in my blog about the linky - oops. Anyway - nice finish on your quilt!
ReplyDeleteLovely. You did a beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteWonderful finish!! I love the different stars with the pinwheels in the corners and the trees in the others with the different fabrics! Great job, Emily!
ReplyDeleteI love this! The pinwheels in the star are perfect. Lets see how I deal with the last 3, all waiting for my big decisions!
ReplyDeleteThat looks very very nice.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how you put the pinwheels inside the star!!! That's a great idea. And it finishes off your quilt brilliantly!
ReplyDeleteHi Emily! EMILY!! This is just SO cool. It's just brilliant to put the pinwheels in the center of the star block. Love, love, LOVE, L.O.V.E. this. I can't say it enough. I'll bet your DH is happy with it. I think he should come up with the name. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteOh my Emily, it is absolutely fantastic!!! I love it.
ReplyDeleteEmily, this is breathtaking! I think you should put out a pattern for it. I cannot say how much I love (and how ingenious it was of you to do) the pinwheels in the stars in the corners! Total cohesiveness. This has been such fun to watch, all so very different. I can't believe it has come to an end, well except for the quilting and final parade!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to finish those corners - very creative!
ReplyDeleteEmily I do like this sweet quilt. Great way to interpret the blocks and make it your own.

ReplyDeleteexcellent solution for Round 7, Emily!!!
Congrats on getting the final prompt incorporated. This is such a fun quilt. Love all those icy blues. As far as naming the quilt, "Northern Lights" is the first one that came to mind. Or maybe "Ursa Major" (the name of the bear constellation) is another option.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt very much. I like the name for the polarbear quilt: At the Pol or at the North Pole.

I love your SAHRR! It turned out so coordinated.
