Welcome to the first post for the 2024 Stay At Home Round Robin! If you would like additional information, please see THIS POST.
The prompt for today is to choose your center block. It can be any size you like – even an orphan block (or two!!) I played around in EQ8 and created my center block using a bird and spool, kind of like my logo! My center block measure 12.5 x 18.5. Your block can be any size you like. There are no rules…and no quilt police!!! I am using left overs from my Island Batik projects over the past couple of years. Make yours scrappy or use coordinating fabrics. It’s entirely up to you!
Once you decide on your center block, you are done for this week! Write your post, or snap an instagram pic, and head over to GAIL’s BLOG for the linky party.
Next, visit each of the co-hosts and take a look at their center blocks.
