I have thought about joining the SAHRR hosted by Quilting Gail and I wanted to use this block that is on my project list as the center block.
But this block is FPP, and it has LOTS of little pieces so I didn't think I could complete it on time.
So, I dug out the tub that has all of the orphan blocks in it and found this one.
You can see it's kind of wonky, so I trimmed it to 12.5". I also put some Fabric Fusion on the ends of the decorative hand stitching so I wouldn't lose it after trimming.
This block was left over from the blocks that I inherited from my mother. You can read about them here and here. I estimate they came from the late 1960s or early 1970s.
I'm not sure what I will do with it but I'm going to try.
If I happen to complete the lighthouse, this could change.
Wishing you more stitchin time than I will have.

Your center block is so cute! Sweet to use one your mother made, and I love the hand stitching.
I love your mother's block with it's jolly colours :)
Love the idea of using one of your mother’s block for this. I could be fabulous!
Well, as one who has used blocks from my grandmother for the SAHRR, I think your block from your mom is going to be great! But if you change out for the lighthouse, that's good too! So glad you are joining in with us!
It's great to hear that you're joining us with the SAHRR '25!!! I love that you're using a block that's one of your mothers! Thank you for linking up to SAHRR '25 Centre Block!
Either option will make a great center for a SAHRR!
