Stay at Home Round Robin 2022 - Centers

Welcome to the 2022 Stay-at-Home Round Robin!  SAHRR for short.  Gail at Quilting Gail came up with this idea: instead of a traditional round robin where you pass materials from quilter to quilter, you make your own quilt in a similar vein.  Gail rounded up some blogger friends, including me, to pre-determine each round, which we'll be revealing every Monday.  We'll also show you our quilts each week so you can see how we interpreted that week's theme.  

If you want to play along, the first step is to determine your center block.  I have had a plan for a few weeks of using my Studio 180 Design wing clipper tool and their Geese on the Edge technique for my center.  I used that technique in this quilt last fall.  Those blocks were 5" finished, so my plan was to make four of them for a 10" center.  But when I started actually sewing, I decided at the last minute to just do one round of "logs" for 3" blocks, which when I sewed them together gave me a 6" center.  If I had planned on this particular design from the beginning, I would have constructed it differently, but oh well.  I am using fabrics from Island Batik's Fancy Feathers collection and my background fabric is Island Batik blender Cat Scratch in S'more.

If you decide to sew along, link up with Gail for this week's round, your center.  Each week, a different host will have the link-up party, but we'll all link to that person so you can find it easily.  This is a fun way to make your quilt your way, but with some direction.  It's also fun to see how each person interprets each round, so there is a lot of room for creativity!
