R7 Julie

I have added my three blocks along the bottom and am pleased with the final result.  I think I've got the balance of colour and pattern right.  Thank you for organising this Kate, I'm having a whale of a time :-)  Can't wait for the next bit!

SHRR 6 Julie

I didn't think I'd get it done this month but here is my Round 6.  I made up the 9"x3" block with curved piecing again and then added a 4"x3" square of dupion silk.  I think I got a bit confused when I added the strip as it would have looked better on the left, and it would have matched the instructions!  I may yet take it off and stitch it on the left side or I may add some applique to break up the blue areas.  However, I am chuffed that just by chance the first blue block above the red matches up with the line of adjacent blue.  I'm looking forward to the next bit as ever!

You probably can't tell from the photo above but I have definitely made 2 separate blocks in the required sizes. The first block on the right is the blue panel with the snowball block. I have never done a snowball block before and I think my triangles may be a bit big but I like the effect and it leaves an area for potential embellishment later.

The 7" x 4" panel was constructed with more free-curved piecing echoing the fabrics elsewhere in the piece.

I never thought to check how much fabric I had got before I started this Round Robin so each month I am having to improvise with some of the smaller scraps I have. Round Robin is the mother of invention ;))

Here's the lastest addition from Julie, about which she says: "Here's the next part of my RR. I decided to continue with the orange and blue theme and used a slightly curved line to join the pieces in this new strip to balance the curved piecing elsewhere. " I do love the colours in this one!

Here's Julie's next round - great colours in this one - can't wait to see where it goes!
