Where are you going to display this beauty? warm quilt hugs, sue in CA Thank you very much. It's on display in our living on the back of the sofa. I sent in a photo a few scrolls up from where this one will come in so when you get this, scroll up and you see the photo of it on the back of our sofa. My husbands recliner is green so we needed a bit more color in the room and this is the perfect added touch. Hugs Patty |
That is absolutely gorgeous! May I make one of those? Is there a pattern? Also, I am a new quilter and have never done a Round Robin. For clarification, the center is done by just one person or do you all work on it? Then it is passed around to each of the other members who in turn add on to it what they choose to? I do love your scalloped border. I put that on my first quilt (Dresden Plate). Second time around will bound to be much easier, I hope!
I just love that quilt. It stood right up and waved at me!!! |

It would be interesting to see the other quilts from your round robin. You have some talented and artistic people in your group. Your quilt is wonderful. What a gift of sharing with others the skills we have.

I just love that quilt. It stood right up and waved at me!!! Checked back to be sure I did answer your question. One person only makes the center block. We each make our OWN center block which is then passed to 4 other participants who each will add one border - any kind of a border they wish to enhance the quilt - and will pass it to the next person. The only contact we have with each other is when we exchange quilts on the designated dates. When each person has finished adding a border to the quilt, it goes back to the owner who sees it for the first time since passing it to the first person. Then we each finish our top however we wish. This group had no guide lines or restrictions and we all had a ball. The other group had some restrictions and several people were very disappointed, frustrated and unhappy and it's a shame. If you ever do get to participate in something like this, go into it with an open mind and willing to let the creative juices of others run and you'll get a beautiful quilt back. When you put stipulations and restrictions on them, you stifle the creative juices and cause stress among the group members. Those of us who did NOT have restrictions or stipulations all got beautiful quilts back while the ones with restrictions and stipulations were frustrated and disappointed. You need to go into such things for the fun of it and with a happy, open and relaxed attitude. Just my opinion though. Enjoy your quilting as that's what it is all about! |
Patty...Oh Yes, I see it now on your sofa. I didn't read thru all the replies, I only saw your original photo posting.
Still loving your quilt the more I see it. warm quilt hugs, sue in CA |
