OR--could I possibly send eleven 2-inch x 60 1/2 inch horizontal sashing strips out with my first row? After I make my first row, I would sew on the first sashing. Then I'd mail it to the next person along with 11 other sashing strips. That person would make the 2nd row, sew it onto my sashing, and then attach the next sashing, etc.

It's actually a little easier to sew a row of blocks onto a horizontal sashing than it is to align the seams of the 10 blocks with the seams of the first 10 blocks.

Is this asking too much? If so, then would it be okay to request that my rows not be attached to each other?

If it's decided that this is all too much trouble, then I'm perfectly fine with the rules as they stand. :-D I just thought I'd ask......
Thanks Janecat. My sisters and I wanted the sashing between each row reasoning that the rows then wouldn't clash with each other. We included the 2.5-inch sashing with the quilt and whoever made the row also sewed on the sashing. It was very little extra work. I would send the 11 strips with my Row Robin along with the label for all participants to sign. Belles
