Scrapper, that #1 idea sounds great. I actually have blocks and material from all the quilts I made for my grands and kids. I keep thinking I will use them to make me a quilt for when I watch TV. It would be a wild one, cause I used eich childs "fav's" for their theim so I have pastel hears, black with red and orange flames, car racing colors with the checkered flag, fishing, trains, elephants in black and red and lions in brown and gold. But I will love it!!

Would a crazy patch quilt be a possibility for a row robin? Just thought of that while reading buslady's post. That would be interesting to say the least and then would not have to have any sashing because each row could just be sewn together. Oh the pretty fabric that would be on it and the wonderful different stitching everyone would add. I am liking this idea, so do you think that could be done?

I don't see why a crazy quilt would not work. It could be interesting.

To see everyone's fabrics they have from scraps would be fun. Then we could use the fancy stitches that are on our sewing machines or to attach those old buttons we have sitting around. this just may be a winner for me.

Close, you have 2 months to do 5 squares. Each person makes 5 squares for each person in the group and then sends them to the next person on the list. You have 2 months to complete each setThe RR will go for approximately 10 months. Though depending on your group-mates, you could finish sooner. Post #1 from Qbee tells you all about the RR. Good to have you, looking forward to seeing what your theme is. Hope that helps.

Pat, I would say you can make a single traditional square your theme, like shoo fly, just be prepared for all sorts of variations I know a lot of people do embroidered squares and applique. so perhaps you would get a row with several shoo fly pieced blocks, but a section of the row could say "Shoo Fly!" with a picture of a fly swatter & fly in cute embroidery.

We have 2 months to do a single row that is 12.5 by 60.5. We have to have our personal starter row done and mailed off to the next person in our group by December 1st. Then we have 2 months to do the row of the quilt that we received on December 1st. This with take quite a long time to finish I would guess that some groups will go faster than others
