I've joined the SAHRR hosted by Quilting Gail. I was going to use a block left by my mom because I didn't think I would be able to finish the original idea. But....
Yep, I finished the lighthouse block.
Just completing this block is on my project list so I'm counting it as a finish. I purchased it several years ago not really expecting to ever finish it. Paper piecing with LOTS of little pieces is not really my thing. I purchased it because this lighthouse is in my hometown.
I added 3" to the top and bottom because I prefer a rectangular quilt. I hope my quilty math works out correctly.

Round 1 of the SAHRR was chosen by Kathleen. She suggested King's Crown or choosing a block that started with the first letter of your first name.
I chose Road to Oklahoma because it started with an R and because DH and I met in Oklahoma over 47 years ago.
Maybe this quilt will end up being the story of my life. 😉

Wishing you more stitchin time than I will have.

Love your center block and I love the block you choose for your next round. It will be so fun to see if the theme continues to work for you.
Congrats on finishing that fantastic lighthouse block. It's a wonderful centre and your road to Oklahoma looks nice too. I wonder if you can find more blocks that relate to your life. An autobiographical quilt would be fun :)
That's a beautiful lighthouse block! I like the Road to Oklahoma block for your SAHRR, too. Sounds like you're off to a good start!
