Last year 11 of us formed a Round Robin group. We each made a starter block and put it in a bag with fabric and instructions. Throughout the year we swapped bags and made blocks for each other, keeping it all secret from each other, of course.
We had beginner quilters and longtime quilters in the group and it was a fun and challenging time for us all.
Below is the block I started my quilt with. I requested floral themed blocks of any size.

| One of my first attempts at needleturn appliqué! |
Different sized blocks meant lots of cunning thinking!!

| Patsy made me a label - cool idea! |

| Leeanne decided I needed a horse - cute isn't he? |
Next week we have the grand reveal for this year's Round Robin, a Row-by-Row, which will be very exciting. However I have a row to finish before then, so I'd better keep myself focussed!!
Here are the first of my Life Is Beautiful blocks —

ReplyDeleteLovely RR quilt and LIB stitching.
ReplyDeleteI've been there with our cats and I know what you mean about getting tough with them to move. Cute kitty.
If my girls are on my stuff that I want to use in my studio, I just say 'look at the cat, look at the cat' and go to a window and they are there in a flash. Works for me! :o)
We can start counting the HOURS down tomorrow!
