Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR) Round 6, the Final Round

Round 6 is the last round. Emily of the Darling Dogwood Blog chose this final round and said this:

"I chose the kite unit.  When we were all discussing our rounds, I noted that Kathleen started the rounds with her first initial as inspiration and I am closing with the same letter.  On that note, if you decide that the kite unit is not for you or if you just want a different choice, you can choose something inspired by your first initial or Kathleen's first initial."

I thought long and hard about what I wanted to make for this last round. I tried making one kite block and wasn't feeling it. I thought about doing some more flowers like Dahlias, Daisies, Dogwood or Dresden Plates,(using the "D" in my first name) but nothing was hitting me. Then I thought what if I bent the suggestion a bit and used the first letter of my last name instead of my first name again? P for Pentagon came to mind and when I set the pentagons like I did it creates a flower shape. Also, a pentagon looks like a kite with the long tail cut off, right?😉So I made appliqué Pentagon Flowers and I really like how those look with the rest of my Round Robin. I alternated the center pentagon pointing up on half the blocks and pointing down on the other half to give it the feeling that they were dancing along the row.

Next will be quilting and binding this large square quilt. I hope I can do it on my domestic machine without too many swear words 😁. It will be a wrestle for sure.

Thanks to Gail and the other bloggers who hosted this SAHRR! I had a great time in creating my first ever Round Robin!!! I hope to make a few more Round Robins or even Row Robins (is that a thing?) to turn some of the quilt blocks I have into finished quilts instead of UFO blocks as they have been for years.

Pin It Now!
