Welcome back to the Stay at Home Round Robin! I loved seeing what everyone did with diamonds! So many great interpretations! Unfortunately, the internet at our house was out from Tuesday morning through late Saturday afternoon so I was really late in visiting everyone. But we're back in business now and I was blown away, as I always am, at how many different ways there are to add the same element to a quilt. Here is where I left off after the diamond round.
This week, Roseanne & Sue from Home Sewn By Us tell us what to add, and they chose stars! Stars are classic, and there are so many different types of stars to choose from. I decided to use Friendship Stars. I'm using fabrics from Island Batik's Fancy Feathers collection and I chose to use the same print in the center of each star and have the spikes of the star be scrappy from block to block. I was able to use my Accuquilt to cut the pieces which made this border come together pretty quickly. I'm really pleased with how it turned out!
What kind of stars will you add to your Stay at Home Round Robin? Be sure to check out the other hosts for inspiration! Roseanne & Sue have this week's linkup. Just a heads up that I will be a day late posting next week; Monday happens to be my day on the Island Batik Row by Row blog hop, so I'll have that post on Monday and SAHRR Round #4 on Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteThe snow did just what we both wanted, skipped over us and let the Fire Monkey have his snow day. Sometimes things work out!
ReplyDeleteYour SAHRR quilt is going to be SEW pretty, Emily!! Sorry about the internet situation at you house. It's such a pain when the internet goes out, but at least you still had power!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the colours you brought in on the star round!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, there are tons and tons of different star variations. Oh gosh without internet it feels like someone cut off my right hand, LOL Glad you are back online.
ReplyDeleteI love your colors! Really looking pretty!
ReplyDeleteAwesome stars!!! We must think alike! Same stars, consistent centre fabric! Although I foolishly did not use my accuquilt! But I love how your SAHRR is coming along!
ReplyDeleteThat was a long stretch to be without internet!!! Love your friendship stars!!!
ReplyDeleteThe unifying centers and scrappy points are just perfect. You really did have a long stretch without internet. Some of that is good, and some of that is hard when there is work to be done.
ReplyDeleteHi Emily! GREAT job on your stars. I think I can actually see them twinkling as they are spinning. This is turning out so fun!! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Emily! I love those friendship stars too!
ReplyDeleteEmily the stars just make your quilt shine. Love the fabrics and watching this project come together. ��
ReplyDeleteThose stars really do add a bit of shine to the rest. It's going to be a beautiful finish.
