Stay at Home Round Robin - Center Block

I have decided to do a Stay At Home Round Robin quilt, following prompts from several other quilters. Gail, one of my friends from my days as an Island Batik Ambassador is hosting this event.  Since I haven't been very active making quilts lately, I thought this would push me into action a bit. 

For the first round each participant is to make a center block.  The block can be any size and is not required to be square.  I prefer quilts not to be a perfect square. My mom would say "oblong" so that is what I will call this starting block. One option is to use an existing block from your orphan block stash.  
 I found this fun piece that I made while teaching myself Seminole patchwork. 

It is roughly 11" high by 9 1/2" wide. The fabrics are all batiks from Island Batik. 
I still have a nice stash of batiks so it is possible that this entire quilt will be made from batiks. 

I will link you to Gail HERE  
Why?  Just in case YOU may want to join in the fun. 


Until Next Time,  
Stay Creative
