Sew As Desired

SAHRR PART 6

March 01, 2026

I decided to continue with the 4 patches strung together which I guess is checkerboard. The first picture is part 6 and the second picture is part 5 and part 6 sewn together. I have utilized all nine of the embroidered sunbonnet sue blocks now. Soon I will be sewing all the sections together to finish up this project. (three sections to be assembled)

This is the start of section 3 of my project. It includes 4 patches and 2 of my orphan Sunbonnet Sue blocks. I have 2 more SBS blocks that I will use in the final prompt and that will compete section 3 of my project. After that I can assemble all three sections.

The "curves" that I am using in this part are yoyo's. I used the Clover yoyo maker to make them. It is really helpful in the whole process of making them. They aren't sewed onto the block yet because I am waiting to do that after the quilting is done. And here is part 3 and part 4 sewn together:

I have formulated an idea for these quilt blocks. So I will call this block the start of phase 2 of my project. Sort of a mystery that will continue to unfold as I go along. It will all come together at the end. As you can see I made four patches with cats in the fabric as my choice of animal themed block.

At first I was reluctant to choose these orphan SBS blocks but now that I forced myself to give it a go I think I am seeing hope for them. I enjoyed round 1. I looked through a lot of my scrap collection(s) and I am going to pick fabrics that match the colors in the SBS print fabric. At first I though pastels would be best then I got ruthless! I'm saying that all these fabrics are tired of being stashed away.
