This continues until everyone in the round robin has added a border to each quilt.

The last person sends the quilt top back to the person who started it...

So, 5 quilters, 5 quilts... Everyone gets theirs back with all that great imagination and work of all the quilters added on... It is so great....

The rules are usually concerned with quality of fabric and deadlines...
Okay, that sounds good to me. The ladies on the Board have been doing it that way with stunning results.

Its so difficult when you live abroad and I wanted to join in but thought it would be unfair.
It would be good if we good wait for Terri in Guam to get back from her journey.
Meanwhile I am rading a book by Elly Sienkiewicz called Design a Baltimore Album Quilt. Just going to have another read to pick up some tips.
Thank you in advance for taking the time and trouble to organise this.
Really looking forward to it.
I think if you Post it under International Quilt Round Robin, you will definately get interest. It may even be that there will be two going at the same time with different people in.
