Stay At Home Round Robin

I wasn't going to do the Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR) this year. I was just going to watch the fun online.  But my resolve apparently was very weak, because this week I dove in - using red of course.  Even though red will be pushed aside for February in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, I'm going to keep this little project a 2-color plan with just scrappy reds and whites.


This project started with that little red/white house block that I paper-pieced early this week.  It was only 9" square with the white frame.  Week 1 challenged us to use curves.  I auditioned several ideas . . . and wasn't very happy with any of them.  I ended up just adding a curvy dark red heart above the chimney.  Kind of a cop-out, but I like it. 

This week's challenge was to add diamonds.  Now it's 15" square with that white border plus the dark red diamonds at the corners.  Next week's challenge is still unknown of course, but I think I'll need to make sure I end up with a "redder" border, to tame down the white.

  2. Your block looks so fresh! How did you piece your diamonds? I had never done diamonds before this round and had to try too many options before settling.
