Step #5 completed

I have caught up to step #5 now...only 1 more to be caught up to the group!
I blogged about it here.

R5: Rhonda

Rd 5: Cheryll S

I did actually add 2 pieces as instructed - 4x6 and 4x7 - to the bottom of my block. I joined the 2 blocks together in the blue fabric. If you look closely you can see the join in the middle of the red fabric above it.

R5: Toni

Whew....with a few hours to spare left in November (according to Eastern Standard Time Zone), I finished my Round 5 this evening.  Now awaiting for Round 6 tomorrow :)

R5: Winter Star

Another round 5 completion - this one is blogged about over here...

R5: Betsy

R5: Plum

For some reason, Blogger has been giving Plum a hard time about uploading this, so instead, she sent it to me to do, but I haven't had a chance until today, despite it being with me last week. Apologies! Here's where she's blogged about it...

R5: Cherie

I completed number 5 just in the nick of time! I did make step 5 in two blocks as directed but wanted them tied together so I used bright blue on the bottom of each. I will embellish the left side so I purposefully left an open space.

R5: Sarah

Looking good!

R5: Kate

I think I need to get some more dark fabric into this one before it's too late!

R5: Benta

Benta has caught up with all three of the pieces she is doing. She has blogged about them over here.

R5: Vero

R5: Amo

Amo has blogged about her round 5 addition over here. I really want to see this one in person - or more precisely, I'd like to feel it - doesn't it look like it has great texture?

R5: Narelle

I'm loving the way these two are the same but taking their own path at the same time.

I decided to try and balance the little 4 patches bottom right with some more in the top section.


When it came to the blue, I wanted to add triangles but was struggling with the 4"x6" so I went with two 4"x4"'s. Again to balance the 4 patches bottom right, I ended up with a 4"x5" of checkers.

I look forward to seeing where and what step 6 will be. It's getting exciting now that there is only minimal space left on the virtual quilt.

Thanks Kate :o)

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 ;))

R5: Janet

My picture is a little dark, but here is my round 5. I kind of adapted the traditional Prairie Queen block to make the 4x6 and then added just a strip of the paisley material for the 4x7. I actually piece the bottom row of the Prairie Queen on upside down, but it seemed to work for me visually so I left it. It's all a grand experiment anyway. There is another tiny error that I told about in my blog but again....it's all a grand experiment...it's stretching my creative thinking and my sewing skills....so I love it. Thanks, Kate. I'll be ready for round 6

R4 & R5: Gene

Following Cherie's lead to leave some room for embellishment (and because I was LATE doing this round) I have added blank strips to each of my Stay At Home Robins.

And then for Round Five I have added more "free pieced" sections to this one.

While using a wonky cut piece from a block of half-square triangles on the left and a plain piece with an appliqued half-square triangle block on it for the top right. .

Don't forget that Round Five is already posted.
