Gotcha! Thanks for the info... :D I don't think I'll attempt this swap -- seems like I already have no time for all my projects :oops:

Okay maybe next time,I hope there aren't to many mistakes my computer isn't cooperating tonight

I don't think you made any mistakes :lol: :lol: Sometimes I read too fast and skip over important stuff and then have to ask stupid questions later :oops: :oops: :lol:

There are no stupid questions only un asked ones

Sounds very complicated...I will sit back and watch! See how this works and maybe next time I won't be on overload!

I would love to participate. Please sign me up.

Please sign me up!!

This sounds quite interesting. I'd love to see pictures of everyone's as it progresses. I'm almost tempted. I've heard of squares that go around something like this.

Actually,we are making a row robin. Each quilter will do a row and add it to the quilt and then pass it on

I would like to join. Thanks

PM me with your address and I will sign you up, when every one is in I will send you the address you will be sending your blocks to

Have just sent you a PM. I would love to be part of this.

Only 3 more spots available,Thanks everyone, I was worried no one would see me through, YOUR GREAT

am I in? Would love to be. Do we include fabric with our row? Or supply our own fabric each time for someone else;s row?

send a pm don't know if i got it to you in time tho :) please let me know

We still have 2 spaces available ! has had to drop out so were almost there.

I sent you a private message joining the group. I'm happy the swap begins on June 10 and am wondering if it will be an International Row Robin.

Also, I thought everyone might be interested in seeing the Row Robin my two sisters and I made in 2008. We each made two rows and decided to use 8" finished blocks, either patchwork, paper pieced or appliqued. Further we decided to put sashing between each row. My rows are Row 1 and Row 4. We all really enjoyed the experience and have received many compliments on the wall hangings. Belles

Your Sisters Quilt is gorgeous. I think this is going to be a lot of fun.

I sent you a p.m. material girl, but i was still on the other page. I hope I'm not to late I would love to join. Thanks.
I do have a question are we just making the rows? Are we attaching them to the previous row? I'm not sure I understand that part or is each row being sent to their owner and the owner is putting them together?
Muriel

The owner is making the first row, it is then sent to your buddy who makes a row sews it on and sends to the next person .You will get another quilt to add row three sew it on then pass it on ,and so on,when your quilt comes back it will have 12rows.Yes we have one from Canada, I will be sending to her, in case the postage is a little more.Your quilt is beautiful

I can't play on this one, but I'm going to love to watch! Your quilt is lovely Belles!!!

I was confused til I realized this was a "row by row" not a ROUND robin...sorry about that, I was trying to figure out the 6 1/2 x 60" deal

Yes, I understand,I have only heard of round robins, but someone mentioned, Row robin, and I grabbed it and ran with it seems easier for my first attempt.

We have are 12 participates, with one on the waiting list, YIPPEE

I hope everyone is ok with this but would like to make a label so that it can go with my blocks so everyone can sign the label with their locations.

Does anyone have any issues with that?

I think that is cool,Also I should mention we should put a piece of paper on each row with our name and board name so we will know who did what row. You may want to pin a note to yours so everyoe knows to sign it

the label sound like a great idea. I will do it also.

I like the label idea too and will do that also. I am so excited about this I made my first row blocks yesterday, so I'm ready to go- whoopee!!!

So should we already be working on our row? We don't know what row to start with, right? I will re read the rules and see if I can figure it out..thanks

Excellent ideas. How about adding the name of the block and your state or country to the note? The first swap I participated in brought me blocks from all over the US. It was exciting to see what fabrics came from which state. However, the second swap produced six blocks from the same state. Belles

Yes, you can be working on your blocks, the1st.row is from quilters cache 6 in. blocks, 4 Patch Variation ,do it in the colors of your choice, and we will finish it to match

hey found a siggy block tutorial to add signature to your row just a thought. you'd have to adjust the size to fit your 6 1/2 size.
<http://www.psiquilt.com/2010/01/sigg...-tutorial.html> I may want to do next row robin love Belles sister quilt. cool!

That would even count as a triangle, I forgot to add please prewash your fabrics, that is pretty standard, on this board,but I should have included that I think I pm'd everyone

Are we going to have a picture post following this? after each row added that is starting with our initial rows?

I sure hope we do I can hardly wait to see them all done

Do the colors that we use have to be the original choices we listed when we signed up for quilting board? I would like to change mine.. If I can.
