need 20" square suitable for on point setting
Hello Quilting Board members. Some of my friends and I have decided to begin a round robin .. and the first block is to be a 20" square block, suitable for on-point setting - it's to be the middle of the quilt. I've made several blocks so far, but none I would like to write home about, so to speak. In other words, I'm stuck. I need help. all the ones I've come up with so far - well, I just can't imagine them in the middle of a quilt. Does anyone have any ideas they might like to share with me for this project. I'd so appreciate your help. Thanks.

round robin using a block that i didn't know what to do with
sometimes it is the one you simply can not imagine in the center of a quilt that makes the most AMAZING-WONDERFUL round robin!!!
i've been participating in round robins for 10 years now- and for the past 5 or 6 years i have used blocks that are in my UFO box- blocks i made i just don't know what to do with- whether they be practice blocks of some sort- or learning a new technique- perhaps an applique block that i make-then have no idea how to turn it into a quilt---what comes back after traveling around the robin trail-is nothing short of amazing-
last years international i used a block that was learning to do hawaiian applique- i made the block- liked it but had no idea what to do with it- and really did not hold much hope to anyone being able to do something with it---the quilt that came home is SPECTACULAR! so...my advice is---use one of those blocks you just don't know what to do with---other people will see it with different eyes- and be inspired!
