Hi Mike,
Create the rectangle AT the POI.
You have not said what your environment is (Python or GUI), but you can
try this from the Processing Toolbox:
Rectangles, ovals, diamonds
Creates rectangle, oval or diamond-shaped polygons from the input
point layer using specified width, height and (optional) rotation
values. Multipart inputs should be promoted to singleparts first.
HTH,
Zoltan

I am trying to create a series of study sites for a citizen science
project but I am stuck.
I would like to create a 3km X 3km rectangle and then be able to move
this so that the point where the two diagonals of the rectangle meet
is over a point of interest.
I have tried everything I can think of so appreciate any suggestions
anyone has.
Thank you
Mike
