Wow-can you believe it is the end of April and still feels like winter? It has been in the twenties over night. I don't know about everyone else, but I am really ready for Spring to arrive and stay for a while.
Here is the 3rd round for our Round Robin quilt. I designed this round with half square triangles and triangles. I used 28 squares per side and I think 8 triangles.
We made good use of Rhonda's design wall. First to display our RR centers, then to work on our bargello quilt. But before I get to the bargello, let's look at the show and tells. Patty was busy and Linda had show and tell, but unfortunately, nothing from the rest of us.
Here is Patty's Grand Illusion. She used fall colors and it turned out beautiful. I think she is going to quilt this herself.
Patty made this Crown Royal quilt for her husband. This will be her first quilt she is going to quilt herself. The colors didn't turn out very good on this. The gold is more gold. The quilt is beautiful and I'll get a better picture when it comes back quilted!!
I almost forgot-Rhonda made these interesting stretched looking pinwheels. She used a 5 X 10 inch square to get the distorted look to them. They will make a very interesting quilt. Ronda also had a t-shirt that she had a picture of one of the Queens from Africa on, which she is going to use to make a memory quilt. Lots to look forward to from Rhonda.
This is the first panel for the SO quilt. We had to change it up a bit because we weren't liking all the yellow that was going to be the center.
We debuted some fabrics for the inner border. Rhonda and I kind of liked the aqua one the best.
And for the grand finale!!! Rhonda made this Sinful Sausage Sub. Everyone was swooning over it, it was so delicious! This came from a book Rhonda discovered from her travels in the South, written by the Sweet Potato Queens. The recipe is below.

You saw Rhonda's and Sue's stars with first border last month. Here is Linda's. Mine, of course, is above.

And Linda finished up this bag during quilt club. I think she should probably get an award for making the most bags. Rhonda may be a contender too.

This is a mock up I did with our one panel of how the quilt might look when finished. I think I am going to like it! What does everyone else think?
And for the grand finale!!! Rhonda made this Sinful Sausage Sub. Everyone was swooning over it, it was so delicious! This came from a book Rhonda discovered from her travels in the South, written by the Sweet Potato Queens. The recipe is below.
