You're right on my part, I have none at the moment.

Elisabrat 01-13-2014 03:28 PM

Nexxus's is here with me, half done waiting for some more kona black to arrive. Melinda was kind enough to order more and have it sent to me :)

Dragonfly Nana 01-13-2014 04:56 PM

Thanks Ladies.

Nexxus831 01-13-2014 07:16 PM

Kelly has brats, Jan's and your Paula.

Nexxus831 01-13-2014 07:17 PM

Mom has Kelly's

Dragonfly Nana 01-14-2014 05:19 AM

Thanks Melinda. That info rounds out the where-abouts of all the tops.

Elisabrat 01-15-2014 06:34 AM

whoot whoot! tada at least we know. Kelly is probably just laying on the couch covered in all the beautiful quilt tops watching soap operas and eating bon bons. (in all her spare time lol). I want to figure out how to do my corners on Melindas quilt top. I am making those nine patches put on point. they fit going across the sides.. I think just another one in the corner or perhaps something different?

spinner52 01-15-2014 07:14 AM

How do I join this group?

Nexxus831 01-15-2014 07:30 AM

Brat I think your package of the black krona should be at your place today

Spinner52 this group is just about done. Keep an eye out under the round robin/row robin section as people are starting them all the time. This group has been so very fun.

Elisabrat 01-17-2014 07:33 AM

spinner this group is now closed but :) you can jump on over to Elisabrats medallion style quilts in the block of the month section and join us and make your own along with the rest. Tons of people are doing it and it is so fun. I love what is being made and its only the first month so you will be right on track with the rest of us!

Nexxus831 01-17-2014 02:16 PM

I will miss them big time when they are gone but this moment.. I see this empty dinner table, and its NAKED it wants a sewing machine, a cutting board and all stuff.. I have.. itchy fingers! we had a literal blast yesterday .. went shooting and the kids were blowing up this item that is a small explosive one can buy here in WY and they were shooting three or four at a time big kabooom! and they loved it. :) and then they went fishing oh yeah and last but not least went to all those touristy shops in town. I care for only one so the rest were an ugh moment for me. rather go to a gallery and see gorgeous Yellowstone or bear or horse pictures myself. not really into shot glasses and tshirts but they were happy. so all is good on the Brat home front :) they can not wait to come back for more. Now that is a grand thing when your company is so happy to be here they are planning their next trip out and the next one and the.. lol.

Ok, I got Brat's done today. It's going to Jan tomorrow.

I more-or-less copied Lana's round, inverted the colors (a little) and did stars in the corner.

I'm going to hit Paula's this week and then Brat is sending me some pink fabric to use for Jan's so probably that will be this weekend/next week before it's done.

I had Brat's & Paula's here since Christmas but just haven't had a chance to work on them. Sorry.

I promise that isn't yellow and sorry for the out of focus. I sneezed mid-picture and didn't see the shaky quality until after I'd packed it up for the mail.

Dragonfly Nana 01-20-2014 04:44 PM

I like it-especially the friendship stars in the corners. Cream is a hard fabric to take a picture of so no worries

Elisabrat 01-20-2014 05:09 PM

I love it, love how one round is a bit quieter one round a bit wilder.. this is a perfect set up for another colorful round. thank you Kelly!

I finished all the nine patch blocks today for Nexxus. I have all four rows sewn minus the squaring off corners as I put the blocks on point so had to add setting triangles those are on.. almost done Nexxus! getting there worked all day but had to call it quits I am a bit pooped. kept dropping stuff which in my books is time to let I rest or you will blow it big time :)

TheMamaHauser 01-20-2014 05:22 PM

I foundation pieced the stars because they were weird measurements. I just said, "EQ make this make sense" and out came 4 sheets. Voila.

Elisabrat 01-20-2014 06:11 PM

yeah but first you had to learn the magic of equilter :) thanks again its perfect.

kwiltkrazy 01-20-2014 09:26 PM

Mama Hauser it looks great.

It looks wonderful Themamahauser. I spent the weekend quilting with mom. I worked on two improvisational quilt tops for another website I am on then worked on my round robin top for the Cardinal group. I will attach pictures of them all if you don't mind. Ok well I will post the two improvisational ones here in a minute.

Ok on the scrappy log cabin heart one I put the checkerboard border on it. The the circle one I put wonky crosses on the border. I only did two sides of the border.

Dragonfly Nana 01-21-2014 04:08 AM

that is a very cool border

Nexxus831 01-21-2014 09:22 AM

Thanks Dragonfly it was so fun to make. Mom just shook her head and said "as long as you like it" She has a hard time when things don't match. Lol (love you mom)

Dragonfly Nana 01-21-2014 01:35 PM

LOL - I knew I liked her! I like them when you do them but I can't seem to conceptualize them for myself.

kwiltkrazy 01-21-2014 03:43 PM

Wow Nexxus they are fabulous!

Lestrong601 01-22-2014 12:19 PM

Hey Paula,
i love things to be equal. Modern stuff just doesn't grab me when it is not even. It looks fine but not for me.

Elisabrat 01-23-2014 04:47 PM

can't do the modern stuff myself but often when I see it I think hey that would work.... :) nice job Nexxus. tomorrow is sewing day for me so look forward to a fast finish in the morning before my stress test. I had a wonderful day today. getting on that transplant list .. amazing so amazing I got so 'high' on it.. now I feel like crash and burn lol. good news in one big dose. wowsa.

Dragonfly Nana 01-23-2014 05:11 PM

Congrats Ms. Brat - getting on the list is hard and to get on as "high" is awesome!

jaba 01-23-2014 05:57 PM

Kelly, received brat's center today. Will figure out something to put on it. I'm working on her other one for our new RR too, almost done with that. Thanks for sending. Nexxus, grand daughter looking for some NBA maverick fabric for you, will let you know if she finds anything.

Annz 01-23-2014 07:37 PM

Oh so cute.

Nexxus831 01-23-2014 09:02 PM

oh thank you Jaba. I really appreciate you reaching out to your grand daughter and for her for looking also

kwiltkrazy 01-24-2014 12:34 AM

so glad to hear you are on the list, keep well.

Elisabrat 01-24-2014 06:34 AM

yeah that is a tricky one isn't it? I have to be well the day they call for me or I wont get a transplant. they only pass you over three times then your off. so staying well is a number one priority for me. Now to get those wipes for the grocery carts and for the key pads you use to enter your pins on.. help keep things off my hands and out of my body! I hate being double paranoid of getting sick but boy this is the time to be super careful. Now to convince the man getting that flu shot would be so smart for ME. he is still not getting it which irks the heck out of me. I cant get it I have no immune system with my other transplant. this would not be good for me to get. 8 cases last week brought into our tiny hospital of h1n1. I rather not catch that for sure! nexus soon as its light I will sew those rounds on and if time allows hit that post office today sending to your mom. I want to roll the heck out of it to try to get every single hair off.. doubt it will work however that black is a magnet and its so big! found out I had worn my fleece the other day jammies. sat on the couch for lunch pet the cats they lay all over me.. pushed them off when back sewed away.. only to look down and see all the hair that had gotten nicely attached to my fleece shirt was now nicely attached to your quilt. I will do the front and back promise but not sure how to get every single one off. should I send a roller to you Lana? glad to include one maybe in a cat free home it would be easier to get them all off? I apologize normally I am super good at not getting hair on things but this time too many days working on it not thinking about what I was wearing. argh pirates this irks me big time. but it will be done lol.. finally absolutely finally done. I sure hope you will like it. Posting pics later to show and tell with you all :)

Nexxus831 01-24-2014 07:02 AM

Brat it is completely fine. We have three cats here and I know you will do your best and it comes out in washing

Gramakitten 01-24-2014 11:27 AM

This is one of the most beautiful round robins I have seen on the board. Congrats to the makers and the receivers.

Lestrong601 01-24-2014 12:35 PM

Brat. Don't worry about the cat hair. My house is cat free but I have two beautiful babies here. They leave their black hair all over too. I have two black labs. I am so looking forward to seeing the round you are attaching. When I do get it I will decide if she gets it back. HeHeHe. I don't think she'll let me keep it.. We will see.
Have a great day and keeping you in prayer.

Elisabrat 01-25-2014 05:27 AM

it will go out today the man put it in the car said we will mail it after your testing only I felt like hell after my stress test that drug induced heart racing thing so it still there. I think the mail is open til noon on Saturdays at the post office if wrong its not til Monday it leave home. no cat hair included :) no photo also Lana can you take one for me? I like how it came out only one corner is slightly off in matching the row continues.. best I could do seriously worked on that to make it all fit. feel free to change it up any way you like :) my feelings will not be crushed honest.

Finished your round today brat but you already know that :) But here is a pic for you. It's packaged and ready to send on to Paula on Monday..[ATTACH=CONFIG]458638[/ATTACH]

Nexxus831 01-25-2014 04:25 PM

Do you all really think those corners look like swastika's?

Lestrong601 01-25-2014 04:51 PM

Linda. Will post pics when it gets here. And Melinda doesn't matter. It looks great.
