Welcome back to the Stay at Home Robin! This week it is my turn to tell you and everyone else what to add to their quilts, and I picked Square-in-a-Square.
It's a fun unit, and there is a lot you can do with it. I started with a light yellow center and an aqua background for the outer squares. I did all of mine the same, because I knew was going to add something to each square -- I used my squares as a background for fun flowers!
I have a few different flower dies for my Accuquilt and I just cut out a bunch of different shapes and started putting flowers together. I had a lot of fun and really love the flowers together all in a row.
So here are all my rows/rounds together so far. Hard to believe, but we have just one round left in our quilt for this year!

Your row quilt is so pretty, Emily. I love the colors and the variety of designs. Appliques add such a soft appeal to quilts, I think. I just do very little of it, but I always love how it looks.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt, it's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLooking so cute, Emily!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I like your idea of using different backgrounds for each row!
ReplyDeleteYour design(s) and unique approach to this round robin are terrific! This quilt is a delight! :)
ReplyDeleteEmily, this is adorable! Square in square is a versatile block which means it will be really fun to see how everyone uses it. Appliqué is a great addition. Great choice for this round!
ReplyDeleteLovely row, and prompt! Your little flowers are cute ;)
ReplyDeleteI like ALL the rows and am a long time flamingo lover. My SAHRR last year was a flamingo! Your square in a square blocks are so inventive. LeeAnna at not afraid of color
ReplyDeleteLoving this row, too Emily. The flowers in the center are so sweet and perfect with this quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers in your squares!!! It's looking great!
ReplyDeleteHi Emily! Cute, cute, CUTE. Those flowers are so stinkin' cute. Everything compliments the flamingos so nicely. This is going to be a great finished when all the prompts are complete. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteYours looks great! I love adding the flowers to the squares, and of course it fits your theme. You couldn't have picked a better next border for me. In fact when I was thinknig of what I'd be doing if I were planning it all by myself, Square in a Square was one of my ideas!
ReplyDeleteEmily, your blocks are sooooo cute!! Love the way you are doing your quilt in rows!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the look of your SAHRR. The flamingos steal your heart...xox
ReplyDeleteYour rows are just great! I love your idea for this year's SAHRR!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea, adding flowers to the inner squares! This quilt just keeps getting better, Emily!
ReplyDeleteEmily your SAHRR quilt is beautiful. I love the flamingoes, but think your Economy Blcks are the star. Love the flower centres. 😉 Carol QuiltSchmilt@gmail.com

LOVE your tropical flowers "round", Emily!!
ReplyDeleteLove how you are using all of your Accuquilt dies to do this year's SAHRR and making it a row quilt! This would be a great way to encourage those who haven't used their dies to try them out. When this is finished it should be in one of the viewer trunk shows at the beginning of one of the Live shows!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so pretty and cheerful, love the colors!
ReplyDeleteYour SAHRR is really cute! It's been fun to see how everyone interprets the prompts.
