The middle of January snuck up on me. I had hoped to have my center block picked out and ready to go before the the first 2025 SAHRR kick off post went up. But that didn't happen. I've been contemplating center blocks since 4th quarter last year. I knew the color palette was going to be predominately green, but hadn't picked the fabrics. Inspiration struck when Grad Girl and I found a beautiful blue and green Batik in the close out section of the local quilt section.
From that we found the bright blue and the darker green. I pulled a gray from the stash to use as the background. Now that I had the fabrics it was easier to decide on a center block. I'd been going through my patterns to find something that clicked, but ended up designing my own center block.
I'm pretty happy with how it came together, though it's certainly not perfect. Now we just have to wait till the prompt for the first round is announced on Monday over at Kathleen McMusing's blog.
I'm playing along with the Chookshed Challenge this year. I realized when the Mid-Month Check In post went up that I had never specified what my January challenge was. My goal for this month is my #9, get the center block and first round border finished for the SAHRR before the end of the month. I've got the center done, now to stay on track with the first border.
