rules for a round/roosting robin
#51
I have finished all the rules, journal pages and folders created so we can get started. I have set up folders where, when the time is right, I will put in the rules and journal pages for the Roosting Robin. Here is a thread I just started where if you join in, you may post your thoughts and pics! http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...st6929946.html

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.

Our small guild is wrapping up our Round Robin. I usually never participate in challenges, etc but this was actually FUN! 4 quilters to a group, small lap size finished product. All of us have distinct styles and colors but I loved the finished products! It was like a contest to stretch our creativity and incorporate new techniques. I loved it! I will post mine when I finish quilting it. The final border on mine blew me AWAY! Not sure a "roost" would have accomplished what the RRobin did.
