Around the Robin

I have participated in several stay-at-home round robins in recent years, but this is my first time reaching flimsy status.  It will finish at 46 inches.

A star salvaged from an unfinished table runner was my beginning block.

Round 1 - Block with first initial:  The star needed a border so I (Libby) chose to do London Roads.

Round 2 - HSTs:  I was fortunate that I had a stash of finished HSTs in the appropriate colors.

Round 3 - Stars:  I made Ohio Stars to anchor the corners of Round 2 and the upcoming Round  4.    (talk about a math challenge!)

Round 4 - Slashed Block:  I was able to incorporate the three colors of the star in several.

Round 5 - Log Cabin:  I chose to do a scrappy courthouse steps variation, giving me an opportunity to incorporate more pink in the quilt. The B/W center 4Ps were made from remnants of Round 1.

Round 6 - Kites:  I used those as cornerstones for Round 5 and finished the piece with a 3-inch border.

This was lots of fun and really gave my brain a math workout!  I appreciate all the thought and effort that went into organizing this challenge.

Linking up with  Quilting Gail for the final parade of quilts.
