Definitely count me in Elizabrat and Jaba. I might even try to do it in miniature for a wall hanging.

This way when you are adding say hour glass blocks for one border you will know that you have to make 7 or 5 per side, so you would cut your pieces to make them 3 1/2" and 4 1/2" unfinished in order for them to fit. As each round is added it makes it so much easier to figure out. Does that make sense? This is one that I made before Linda and I started the RR's to just try and see what kind of borders to make and how they looked. Each round was staggered with 4 1/2" or 6 1/2" wide. Maybe this will give you an idea.[ATTACH=CONFIG]448174[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]448175[/ATTACH]

When do we start? It sounds like fun and learning new things all rolled up in one. Count me in. Thanks.
|
Is Elisabrat hosting and choosing the borders we use? When will you start?
|
Love the quilt jaba - am I seeing the fractured block in the center to stat with - what a fun technique to put on my bucket list for the future. I'm definitely interested in participating in a RR. - count me in.

Yeah another train ride. And Linda the round robin idea sounds fun as well. I really need to tame my stash. It is out of control. I quit buying quilt backs about 1 1/2 years ago. I just piece together something from what I have here. Not sure I have even made much of a dent in what I have yet. I have also whipped up some donation quilts out of my stash too. I could probably sew from now until I am 100 and not use it all up.

The RR sounds like fun. Be sure and let us know when you start its own thread. I have some embroidery blocks that I want to use a the center and this would keep me "on track" to get it done for Christmas 2014.
|
The RR sounds interesting and I may participate. Is this something that needs an OK from Patrice or another board administrator before we can go ahead?
|
Thanks for enlightening me! Right now my head is ready to explode with lots going on in life. My sewing room hasn't seen me for over a month, so I was trying to see if the borders and train were together or separate. I may lurk on both or if things settle a bit, maybe do one or both. The round robin sounds like a good thing and it would be fun to do with Elizabrat's leading. The train is a good thing, too. It sounds like 2014 will be lots of fun on the Board!

yes I have to write it up then send it in for approval first. I hope to get to this in the next week or so as I have to finish a round on a round robin I am in right now. I am in three and addicted to them. I have so much to learn and ready to do it. gulp lol.
