I did a round robin a while back and loved it. I challenged myself to try new techiniques for ever round and was really pleased with how each border turned out. I don't normally do piecing--mostly applique but these blocks just cried out for pieced borders so I attempted it. Everyone had nice comments about their tops once the swap was over and they got their blocks back. What did surprise me was how much time it took. I was also working at the time. But it was a great experience.

One of the things I love best about this site is the support you get from everyone. I am a newbie compared to a lot of the wonderful quilters here, but they are always supportive and have wonderful things to say. I love the quilt block exchanges. They are so much fun.

So glad to see you have joined for the doll quilt!!!
They are so much fun. So just relax and have fun with it!! :D :D

What ever you make will be loved! :D :D

Am thinking about joining one of the swaps to get out of the box. Have
been quilting since 1997. But I don't feel like a quilter. There is too
much that's new, especially to me. Guess what I do is like my Mom and
Grandmother did. I need to learn all over again. :oops: :lol:

If I joined you should definitely join!!! :)

OK momto4 I'll get out of this box and try it! Now How? :mrgreen:

I just googled "free doll quilt pattern" and found quite a few. Im just going to try one of those first since they seemed fairly simple. I am not sure where the rest of the ladies get their quilt patterns....and just pick out some fabric and away you go!!! :D

O.K. momto4. I will,if you tell me how :wink: Hugs Marilyn
:oops:I think I answered you twice.Sorry. I have a lot of stash, mostly
scraps. :lol:

JOIN!! It is fun and exciting to see what you will get. I was a bit nervous also, but that is me. I need to get out of my shell. I feel the same way when we have show n tell at our guild. I feel inferior to the other quilters. I guess that is a trait I have always had and it is SOOOO hard to change.

I signed up for the Oct doll quilt swap and it's my first time. I feel kinda as you do, but figure it the person I send my quilt to doesn't like it, they can stick it in a dark closet to chase away the bugs...
