I Love seeing all your centers. You will have so much fun working on each other's quilts and will learn a ton. Can't wait to see the progress.

The centers are lovely. Looking forward to see these quilts progress.

I agree, this will be fun to watch as you all progress. I have often wanted to do such a round robin but I have been to shy because I fear my skills will not be up to par with others. I know my confidence problem.

For those of you who have asked about my center: It is made by sewing two strips together and then cutting "wedges" with a 12 degree ruler placed on an angle across the strip set. You sew the wedges together like you would a Dresden Plate. Then you applique on a center. Adding the corner pieces was a bit tricky for me as I hate to sew curves - but I got it done.
Check out Phillips Fiber Arts - it is a free pattern from them. http://phillipsfiberart.danemcoweb.c...gree-freebies/ |

Patti; This is a first for me, too! The "unknown" is so exciting to me. I wonder about my ability to choose the right thing for a round, it's going to be a challenge. I have a couple books that teach about borders and I keep looking at quilts that are made with centers and several borders!

For those of us who are new to the concept, can you explain exactly what a Round Robin is and how it works?

Hi Linda - Sure it goes like this: Say you have 6 players, identified as A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Each player makes a "center" and mails it to the next player in line: A mails to B, B mails to C, etc. B them adds a border or "round" to what was received from A B then mails the whole thing to C C adds a round and mails it to D And so on through the list to F, each player adding a round to the whole that was received. F then mails it for the last time back to its owner A as a completed quilt top. The size for each "round" is determined before the robin begins. So for the first round each player might add a 3" round to what they receive. The second round each player would add the next stated size - say a 5" round. The end size of each quilt is determined by the creator based on the size of the center initially sent Hope that helps. |
I will be following thios for sure. these centers are great

Ok Robinettes, this is the center I picked. It's called 1930's square from QuiltersCache.com. It's still a bit overcast here for pictures. But, hopefully this will do the job. It's 14 1/2" square.
