There can be problems with the shipping. I know Givio had to make a whole quilt for someone who's quilt got lost in the mail. Too many headaches involved for me. I'd rather make all the rounds myself. But I'm just a big party pooper!
Their quilts did turn out pretty!

Ok that convinced me not to do it. The shipping would be at least $35 for the US. Can't imagine what it would be for international.
I wonder if Givio required that participants give her their shipping number. I have to admit there is no way I'd be willing to make a complete quilt for someone. Janice have you ever had a package lost forever?

Love that kitty block, Cheesehead!
MJP, do you have a local group that you belong to, or can you look for one? I think a Round Robin is best done locally. No shipping, and no quilts lost in the mail. I did a Boom with my local group and it was so nice not to have the shipping cost. Still love these Booms, tho, and would do all the Booms I can find!

I asked her if she was going to do another round and she suggested I do one.
It it takes about 6 months. You have to be committed because if you don't complete your part on time you hold up the next exchanger. It's more tedious than making blocks, especially the last border. But you get a completed quilt that's a little more harmonious than our lovely block quilts are.
Any my experience or thoughts about this?

I have done 2 round robins and they weren't on quilting board. One round ruined the top, it wouldn't lay flat, second time I never received my quilt back
I would love to do a row robin
Before Janice was our host and back when we still sent the blocks to each individual I sent s block to Janice she never received. Made her a new block and sent it on the way. About 2 years later I received the envelope back within such address, I had transposed two numbers
