I'm hoping to finish tweaking the rules by tomorrow so I can put the sign-up list up by Monday/Tuesday.
Once that is up, THEN I will be accepting PMs with name, addy, e-mail,phone numbers and whether or not you can ship overseas/Canada.
Those that KNOW they will not be around the month of August, or until at least the middle of August can PM me their info early. ONLY THOSE PEOPLE! I'm thinking I will keep the sign-up going until maybe August 15th. Then I can get to work on getting groups together. That will be the hardest part and will take some time to get going.
Just know that your centers WILL NOT have to be mailed until September 15th, so go ahead and start your centers.
Centers should be between 12 inches and 24 inches. If you make your center on point, just remember that the 1st person it goes to, will have to make it square, therefore, they may not like doing so. TRY, if you can to square your center off if it's on point. The person who is doing the first border may have an awesome idea for the border and if he/she has to put it on point, it can be a bit disappointing. I'm not saying to NOT send it out on point, I'm just saying that it's not always a good thing.

I am a newbie so what is a round robin and what does it involve.

A round robin is where you make a center square.
You are in with a group of people who are doing the same. You send your center to the next person on your list. That person puts a border on it. You would be doing the same because someone would be sending a center to you. Once that is done, everyone in the group sends that completed center w/border out again. You always send to the same person. Everyone in your group works on your center, putting borders on it until it returns back to you..usually within a 12 month span. Once you get it back, you have a completed top. All you have to do then is to bat, back and quilt it however YOU want to do it. Then you get to love on it because it was done by new friends that you have made around the country/world.
Sound easy?

Yes,it sounds great and I would love to participate.

Welcome from another Oregonian...not far from you in fact. I live in Lyons (up hwy 22 past Stayton)
Hey, if you are one of my partners, I could just deliver it to you :lol: :!:

Based on the quilt you have posted as your avatar I would be willing to deliver just to see it up close and personal,it would be an honor.

while working on another swap i found what i want to do for my center. now i need to go pull out totes and decide which colors to use. it will be a gift for my 4yr old granddaughter.

Here goes a silly question,does the center have to be square?example 12x12,14x14 ect.. or can it be a rectangle?

I'm kind of with you Lori - the idea that it had the trip I couldn't afford to go on is neat.

It would be great to have a traveling quilt since I sure am not at this time.
