SAHRR Week 1

13Jan
by Janine @ Rainbow Hare

Today is the first day of this year’s SAHRR, hosted by Quilting Gail, and it’s time to link up our centre blocks.

I really enjoyed joining in last year and I love the quilt I unexpectedly ended up with but this year I’m thinking I’ll aim more for a wall quilt size. I took inspiration from a Christmas card and stitched a hare onto an orphan hst block but when I added it to a piece of linen it looked really drab so I switched it out for a sunny yellow and added some petals/leaves.

It’s icy cold here just now so I’m happier to be working on something more cheerful! If I trim the block into a square, it will be 12″ but I’m waiting to see next week’s prompt before I cut it as I might keep with the circle for bit…

I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone else’s centre blocks and following the quilts as they grow :)

Here is the SAHRR schedule:

    What a clever idea, this SAHRR! I love your rabbit, and agree that the yellow makes it pop a bit more — good, perhaps, for a center? This will be fun to follow along!

    Your bunny is just adorable, Janine! I really like that HST background and the applique surrounding it. It will be so fun to see what you do with this during the SAHRR!

    Moving the bunny to the brighter fabric and adding the leaves was a great idea. This will be a fun SAHRR projec to follow. I’m joining for the first time and just now getting around to everyone’s center block post. So much inspiration on the linky party.
