Starting in April 2026, Susan Aylesworth will be leading an orphan block round robin quilt a long. The information can also be found online on our website under the “for members” tab or on our Facebook page under members only. All members are encouraged to join the private Facebook members page for more information on guild activities and events.
Each month will add another border or row.
Start with an orphan block and add a row to it that includes stripes. It can be one on just one side or two or a full on border of your choice.
Add a border or partial border that includes HSTs – Half-square triangle blocks. Put them together in whatever configuration pleases you. I look forward to seeing all your interpretations!
Add some words this month. Put them in the border or on your quilt top The words can be on the fabric or added as applique, do whatever you like. Other artists sign their work on the front..just sayin’ This is mine so far. I’ll be looking for fabric with the words already there.
For July, add a row or a full border of square-in-a-square blocks. There are several different interpretations, so do whichever pleases you. And.. because it’s July, add in a bit of Canadiana where you can. Maybe you can find a little maple leaf, or go for a red and white theme.
This is my last instruction for this project. Feel free to continue adding whatever pleases you to achieve your desired size. For August, add a row or round that has circles – either in the fabric or added to your project with whatever technique you like.
