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!
Precious backstory, and beautiful block.
Your lighthouse is gorgeous! And you are off to a good start on your story:)
The lighthouse is beautiful! I love your Road to Oklahoma block. That one has been on my must-make list for 15 years. You'd think I would've made it by now since I grew up in and lived in Oklahoma much of my life. Where did you meet in Oklahoma?
Very lovely lighthouse and additional block!
Oh yes, I love the Road to OK block. I also really like the grunge dot fabric you are using.
I love yourcenter block, and the way your are planning to make the rounds. It's going to be a memory and treasure quilt!
Your center block is lovely, and I like the next block as well. It will be fun to see this quilt take shape!
Love where you are going with this!
