Download The Full Pattern Here

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 springy 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:

{Key Takeaways}

• Set the Tone: The center block is the heart of the round robin quilt, establishing the design direction for the entire project.
• Collaborative Creativity: Round robin quilts are a fun way to collaborate with fellow quilters, blending different styles and techniques.
• Flexible Color Choices: Use a versatile color palette in the center block to inspire and coordinate with future additions.
• Embrace Imperfections: Slight mismatches or unique interpretations from contributors add character and charm to the quilt.
• Practical Preparation: Properly store and transport the quilt during the round robin to ensure it remains in great condition.

Materials List:

+ Rundown Of The Round Robin Instructions +

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 fusible web to keep those pieces in their place.

5) Cut and tuck the rickrack 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 rickrack.

Yes, this is where I looked and no, there wasn’t any green. Can you believe? I can’t either.
