So ladies, lets get quilting our rows!!!!
I'm really excited and can't wait to work on each of your tops

Thought of another questions: Please put a preference if want just pieced blocks or if embroidery will be good. Already I have a couple of things that are embroidery which will go with Annaquilts theme. I will keep track so we can be sure everyone is happy with their end results.

On my theme, which is easier for you gals, safari animal prints like lions tigers, giraffes, elephants, cheetahs, panthers, zebras, etc. or to do the crazy patch blocks? I am in two robins so need to decide which is which.

Oh I'll take the wild animals any time over the crazy patch. So I am hoping we get the aimals. Sounds like fun! Prints only and piecing or applique too? Who is it for?

I think no sashing for me but I think I would like the row I make in the middle and then two rows above it and two rows below it. I guess it will be were ever you want to put it unless you are the last one to add the row.I am fine with embrodery, applique, paper piecing, piecing as long as the colors all kind of go. That is the only thing I have a hard time with. Not big on pink but love all kinds of scrappy. I am keeping this one for my home.

Anna, what we can do on the sashing, if everyone is ok with it, that if we want sashing we include it and if not, we don't. I think this will be easier than all trade or not. This way it personalizes the quilt to each own and can see it progress. How is everyone with that? Need some conversation to know how you all want to do this. Also was a discussion on stitching rows together, i think if we all know what the others are doing and if we are or not attaching rows, we can keep it in conversaiton and ask each other. I will put you down for no sashing on your list Anna so I have the info.

I am totally fine with putting sashing, provided or not, on peoples quilts. I can definitely see doing that with single blocks. Just tell me what to do.

Hi all,
Just checking in with our group. I am so excited to see what everyone is planning for their rows.

To answer the questions of our Group Leader -

• Group name - I have no preference if we are known as Group 7 or by another name.
• Theme - My theme is 'My Sewing Room'- items found in my room (or wished I had in my room ;-)
• Sashing - My preference is to join my rows when they come home to me. As for others, I have no objections if you want to include sashing for your rows to be joined as the top grows.

A few years back I belong to a RxR swap. Each member included some sort of correspondence with their row. As each additional row was made, the maker jotted down how or why she added what she did to the quilt top. This was intended as a way to share your likes and dislike. For example, I don't like lavendars and pastels but adore the talent of hand appliquing. I will be including some sort of booklet with my row for each of you to write in if you so choose.

Question - Do we want to poll the Group 7 members to see if we can send our rows early, or should we stick to the deadlines?

best,
d

"Question - Do we want to poll the Group 7 members to see if we can send our rows early, or should we stick to the deadlines?"

I do know that Peggiszo and Babeyruth do not have their themes down yet and I have not started mine as of yet. How do the rest of you feel? I am not going to get to mine till probably mid October or so because of other committments.

I think if we are all ready early, like beginning of November, we can send out.

If we are all ready I think we should but please no pressure I want to have fun. Once I have my row made I will post. I do not do well under pressure so I try to finnish early.

There is no pressure and don't worry, if you are not set by November 1, then we will wait as such. The final deadline for first move is December and if we need to wait till then so be it. My main goal is that we get a great end result and we stay on task of the official deadlines.

Anna, sent you an email regarding the other item we are working on.
