rules for a round/roosting robin
#32
not sure. maybe could suggest this for center to begin the project? Or give a basic list of skills we might use, to allow them time to prepare ideas before they get the rules. For example, if we say the rounds may include fabric dying and trapunto, then they could decide if they want to do it small (at beginning of project) or larger (one of the final borders). hmmmmmmmmmm.... have to think about this. thanks!

I am participating in a Round Robin as the president's challenge with my guild right now. First we made the center block, then we had to enlarge it and make a 3" finished border incorporating triangles, next was a curved border (pieced or applique), also 3" finished - if that was more than someone was willing to try, they could do pinwheels. Now we are doing a 4" finished square or rectangle border.
Still waiting on the last 2 borders. There are several books on Round Robins (for example: M'Liss Rae Hawley's Round Robin Renaissance) as well as different border books (example: The Border Workshop) that can be used for ideas. In M'Liss Rae's book, she does have some that run vertically instead of around.

I've been thinking about hosting another Robin, but we have had problems in the past with one or two participants getting behind and not passing on schedule. This sounds like it would end that problem. My concern would be losing lots of the folks who stop because they get behind. In our guild we have lots of people sign up for various opportunities (class, challenge, robin etc.) but in the end less than half actually do it. Any thoughts if you've hosted robins, roosting or otherwise?
