I know everyone has been waiting anxiously all weekend for the reveal of the Patchwork Round Robin Center Block!! ha ha Whatever, I know you were all watching the Super Bowl Game….or sewing while others were watching the game. I know how it is.
So I wanted the center to be something for everyone…..a bright, crazy fabric girl, a dirty Kansas City Troubles girl,….a wooly girl…whatever else kind of girl you can think of. Plus I was looking for something a little on the Springie side too. Too much of this winter weather can wear the soul down. So what do you think of this is for the center block:
Edit–I added the stems:
Block Size: 16 1/2 X 16 1/2 inch square
Finished size: 16 X 16 inch square
Materials list:
1 fat quarter for you background —{Cut to size of block, AFTER you have placed and sewn everything down. Sometimes things shift you know.}
1 fat eight for you basket.
Various little scraps of greens, golds, reds 5″ squares are perfect for these!
Ric-rac: for the bottom trim of the basket, and green for the stems.
White wool or wool felt for the small dot flowers
Let’s do a quick run-down of the instructions shall we?
1) Print off the picture—click on the picture of the templates–then print picture.
2) Cut out templates & pin on fabric choices.
3) Cut out pieces & Place on block background fabric
4) Pin, glue or use iron on fusable web to keep those pieces in their place.
5) Cut and tuck the ric-rac into place.
6) Zig-zag, button hole or raw edge stitch the outside edges of the pieces.
I know what your thinking….that picture up there doesn’t have any stems. Well, I do know that! However, I was finishing up this block yesterday and didn’t have the right green of ric-rac.
yes, this is where i looked and no, there wasn’t any green. Can you believe? I can’t either.

This is the most fun web site for Quiters! Lotsa ideas! I have been quilting for a couple years now and really enjoy it. I know my husband wishes I didn't like it so much but he has his tractor etc!! I have made quilts for all my kids and their kids and now just quilting for enjoyment. I have downloaded the BOM “There's No Place Like Home Quilt” I plan on quilting until I use my stash and that will be a while! haha.
Thanks for sharing your ideas etc. I have bookmarked your site and will visit often.
