Community Round Robin Quilt-Along! Block 2: Home Sweet Home

Welcome to the Community Round Robin Quilt Along! This is the centre for Block 2: Home Sweet Home Download the pattern for this block, along with all of the other previously presented patterns from my website at: www.bitsandpiecesquilting.com. We are four creatives and quilters who have joined together to bring you a fun (and free!) quilt along project focused on the theme of Community. What does “community” mean to you? This project will give you lots of different ways to express your idea of community in your final quilt project. A traditional round robin quilt starts with a centre block and has a series of borders added to grow the centre into a larger block, or sometimes even a complete quilt. Historically, this was also a way for quilting friends to share fabric and effort and contribute to each other’s projects. A quilter would begin by creating the centre block and then pass that block along to be added to by others in the group, returning the favour as blocks were passed to them. But great distances require a certain element of additional creativity and a variation on tradition! With our team located in three and sometimes four different countries, passing blocks around wasn’t going to work. So we took turns designing block centres and borders to build on the designs of the others.

There are loads of opportunities for you to inject your own creativity! There will be options (beginner, intermediate and advanced) for some of the rounds, and you can choose your own colour palette. Will you fussy cut where there are opportunities? Or will you select a colour or theme for your project? The possibilities are endless. There are four different centre blocks, as well as two borders for each block, for a total of 12 quilt-along videos. There will also be an introductory video for the series from each creator, and we’ll show you how we have each finished our quilts to give you some ideas for your project.
