Wanted to wave hello. We're here in the Seattle area now but hubby came from Grand Rapids area and we still have lots of family out there. So I have been trained to say "Go Blue!" and point to a spot on my hand that represents where Grand Rapids is.
I love round robin projects but have always been too shy to join one. Hope you find a good group of people and that you share your projects, we do love pictures around here!

Hi Reba,
Welcome! I would be interested in doing your Round Robin... Haven't done one before but I've done tons of 12" block swaps (we call them Boom swaps here). I'll pop over to the swaps page to see if you've posted a sign up yet.

It took a little prodding and going back and forth, but Reba has accepted me as a member in this, my first ever Round Robin project. She says she can handle my open pressing if I do use my tiny stitches but I can still bend a bit towards my other participants if you need me to press to the side.
It can be really scary doing these things the first time. I was on a wait list to join a really fun group in my old guild but basically they wore themselves out and nobody quit until the whole group did.
Any time you swap/do group projects there is always a range of skills and we are all afraid to some degree of the judgements of others. I think if you have the skill and experience enough to wonder if you have the skills and experience -- you probably will do just fine! That's the nice thing about round robins is you play to your own strengths -- and Reba accepts my strengths don't include hand work..
This is definitely something I want to take a backseat in doing -- I'll let y'all figure out the details. Just tell me what and when, and maybe we should move to a different section of the forums.

Welcome from Florida. The round robin sounds like fun but I already have commitments for 4 quilts and I don't think I will have time for anymore projects. Please share your pictures with us. I always enjoy seeing what other members are doing.
