This week Gail and the gang involved in bringing the SAHRR are sharing their center blocks and we have one week to post and share ours on the Linky Party on Gail's blog. Since I knew I needed a center block when it was first announced about this year's SAHRR, I thought about using an orphan or UFO block, but in the end I decided to make a sunflower appliqué block, since I love both sunflowers and appliqué. I will have to wait for the clues each time to decide on what I will do next, since I have no idea what those clues will be and what I will do with the clues to add to this center block.
It does not have to be done in the round either, so I could make one block with the next clue, or a couple of blocks to add to each side of the center (or top/bottom), or? It's all up to me how I want to do it and what size block(s) I will make and where I want to place them. So I could make a Row quilt instead of going around. So I will just wait for the next clue and decide then. It will be as much of a surprise to me as to you. 😄
Pin It Now!

What a pretty sunflower block! Like you, mine will be a "surprise" to me - I have something in mind but will see after the first prompt. :)
ReplyDeleteThe fabric for the center of your sunflower is very cool!
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty block for your beginning! To me, that is one of the most enjoyable things about the SAHRR -you never know what you're going to end up with, but it's always fun!
ReplyDeleteYour sunflower is a great centre block!!! It will be fun to watch it grow over the next 6 weeks! Thanks for joining in the SAHRR fun and posting in the Linky party!

ReplyDeleteI'm with the SAHRR, but Google isn't playing nice tonight, so I couldn't log in as me. I just wanted to say I love your center sunflower block -- and it was also good to hear about your experience with the SAHRR (I'm Elizabeth of OPQuilt, and I'm a newbie)!
ReplyDeleteDaryl, your center is so lovely! Yes, go free and wild… it will be good, whatever you deside. Like your wonderful bags. You are super creative and I think your colours will be sending good vibes! Wendys Eva… :-)
