Thanks all for the replies...I will definitely check out Ricky Tim's setup.
I think folks like the camaraderie of working Round Robin style, and especially if you are working alone at your machine most of the time, it is nice to plug into a wider group to get some caring and sharing, right?
Bkay, Round Robins are where a pool of quilters gets together and each makes a starter block. That block is passed to the next quilter for the next "round", who in turn passes it on to another. You end up at the end with everyone having a top that has been worked on by multiple quilters (ie. the top with your starter block eventually makes its way back to you). Sometimes each round is guided by a prompt ie. "experiment in orange with flying geese blocks of varied sizes".
I found getting a piece I had no hand in making but had to add to really fired up a design problem solving skill I did not realize I posssessed! I am not the best or most disciplined quilter but I am good at rescuing quilts that for whatever reason are not coming together. That for me is really fun!
