Have you had a chance to finish your Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR) quilt? We appreciate all of you who sewed along with us.
I did not get a chance to quilt my top. I do need to think about a quilting plan and thread colour.
Kathleen is hosting the final link up. Link up your finished quilt (whether or not it's quilted) before Tuesday.

If you have made it this far, it's the last round for Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR). Thanks for sewing along with us.
Gail @ Quilting Gail started the Stay at Home Round Robin in March 2020. It was a way to stay connected with the quilting community while we were in various stages of isolation due to the pandemic. In 2021, Gail invited several blogging friends to join her to help host SAHRR. It was a great way to foster new friendships and to stay connected with one another.
The sixth and final round was chosen by me. The final theme is: quilter's choice. This is your opportunity to unleash your creativity.
In keeping with the community spirit of a round robin and a nod to my online friendship with Gail and the other bloggers, I made a friendship star block. I used Kona Natural and Clover.

It's time for round 5 of the Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR). I hope you have been enjoying this year's adventure.
Round 5 was chosen by our host, Gail @ Quilting Gail -- two colours. Gail says make anything you like using only two colours. But she's added a caveat -- you can add a neutral to give you three colours. Stop by her blog to get more information and to see her version of this week's theme.

Are you still sewing along with the Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR)? It's time for the fourth round. After the next two rounds, there will be a month to give you time to catch up and piece your top. Your quilt top does not need to be quilted to link up for the quilt parade on March 25.
Round 4 was chosen by Wendy @ Pieceful Thoughts -- curves. Wendy offers some great suggestions on how to incoporate curves into your project. Make sure to stop by to see her interpretation of curves.

We're at the halfway point of the Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR).
Round 3 was chosen by Emily @ The Darling Dogwood -- animal kingdom. Emily says that you can chose a block named after an animal; use an applique of an animal; piece a block that looks like an animal; or use fabric that contains animals. Stop by her blog to see how she interpreted the theme.

It's time for Quilting Gail's annual Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR). Gail began SAHRR in 2020. Starting in 2021, she invited several friends to join. 2026 marks the seventh year of SAHRR.
A round robin is a common activity in many quilt guilds, whereby each person makes a centre block. The centre block is then passed onto another quilter in the group. They are given instructions as to what kind of border (or round) they are to add on to the centre block. The project is then passed on to another quilter, and it continues on until all the various borders (or rounds) are completed, and then it is returned to the original maker of the centre block. It's a fun way to engage with other quilters.
For SAHRR, there is no passing of your project to other quilters -- you do all your own sewing. Each week, there will be a theme for the round, and you choose how to interpret and implement that theme. You can be as creative as you wish.
Today is the first day of the 2026 edition. It's time to get your centre block ready. You can use an orphan block, or make a new block. Think about what size you want your finished quilt to be and whether you want a specific colour scheme or a scrappy quilt.
My centre is a 12.5 inch sawtooth star block. I used Kona Natural, Cypress, and Balsam.
Make sure you link up your centre block with Gail before midnight (Pacific) on Tuesday, January 20 to be entered in the prize giveaway. I will share details of the prizes and our wonderful sponsors in a later post.
In order to qualify for prizes from our sponsors, we need to know who you are and how to contact you. We also need to know where you live, so please put your name and country in the Caption line (see below) when you link up. It is best to link up with a blog or Instagram post so we'll have your e-mail address. If you do not have either, you can send me a photo of your round each week, and I will add it to the link up for you and enter you into the draw. You can e-mail me at anjaclyke [at] gmail [dot] com.
