SAHRR ’25: Centre Block

/ quiltinggail

Everyone that is doing the SAHRR starts with a Centre Block. It’s up to each person to choose which block they want to use. Some people use an orphan block. Or you can use one of the blocks that one of the SAHRR team has used. OR you can use any block of your choice!! Any size that you want! It can be square or rectangle … even a triangle if you wish! 😁

My block is the Starflower block. I found this block at The Quilter’s Cache: Quilt Blocks Galore. If you want to be overwhelmed by block choices, this is the place to go. There are blocks from 4″ to 24″ and several that you can make any size you desire! The lists of block patterns tell you the level difficulty and if they are paper pieced or have appliqué.

For my SAHRR 2025, I am using the Island Batik fabric collection “Poetic Bouquet,” designed by Kathy Engle for Heidi Pridemore of The Whimsical Workshop and Island Batik’s solid white.

The Starflower block can be found HERE. I made the block exactly according to the directions. Here’s 2 of the Half-square triangles before trimming.

And my Centre block, it is currently is 12 1/2” and will finish at 12″ in the quilt:

  5. I’ve never participated in SAHRR before but have been inspired to do so after reading Diann’s post at Little Penguin Quilts. I’ll try putting together a post for Jan. 16th. Will that be too late to join?
