Thank you Judy, you answered the next question that I was going to ask. Also, is there any specified suggestion of the next round, or is each person totally free to add any design of their choice?
In addition to what she said, and to answer the questions someone asked a bit back, each person in the group makes a center and every person in the group puts a border on each center.

Then it was circulated to a group of 4 other women (some overseas, hence the "international") and they each added a border in a specified width before mailing it to the next person on the list. The quilt comes back to the original center maker at the end and you end up with a gorgeous quilt like this one! I was in a wonderful group for this one as you can tell from the results. They all did beautiful work!

For those of you who are interested in IRR quilts, here is a link to some of the quilts that were made in IRR II - 2010:

They are so gorgeous and when you think that most of the people in the groups that worked on the quilts have never met each other, it's amazing how beautiful the quilts turn out.
