The Stay at Home Round Robin 2026, led by Quilting Gail (quiltinggail.com) launched yesterday with the first prompt being the center square. In the past I have used an orphan block as my starting point so I checked to see if there were any prospects in my UFO boxes and I came up with two possibilities.
My first choice was this block that I made as a sample for a class I considered teaching at the guild I belonged to before 2018. It was from a series in a magazine, I think McCall's Quilting.
I still have some of the fabrics I used in the block and I pulled some coordinating fabrics to go with it.
If I use it as the "center block," it's already 22" square so it could potentially evolve into a throw-size quilt.
I think I will wait until the next prompt before I make a decision. At this point I am favoring the smaller option since I'm not sure if I have the stamina to work at the larger scale. But, having a week between clues, I can pace myself. The first step will be setting up a cutting station on the main floor since I can't go to the basement.
It's exciting to see your quilting ideas again. The larger block is so cool. It looks like you could have the first three rounds done already, depending on the prompts, of course.
