It is called a Roosting Robin because the quilt never leaves home - it roosts. A Round Robin begins with one quilter, then is passed to another quilter who adds a border, then it passes to a third quilter who adds another border, making the rounds through the group until it reaches the beginning of the loop - the original quilter. With a Roosting Robin, you have all the same sets of rules etc, all the freedom of creativity, but not the worries that the quilt will get lost in the mail or be delayed by someone else, or that someone will add something to your quilt that you absolutely hate, or that your skills are not good enough for someone else's quilt. It is all the fun, without any of the stress.
