I received my finished quilt. I love it!! Thank you all so much for doing this it has been so much fun and a great learning experience for me. Paula if you have a picture of my finished quilt please post it if not I will try to get one later.

Tam...moo. I am still working on yours so sorry it's going to be late. My daughters boyfriend had a major stroke he's only 17. He's now on a ventilator and it don't look good. Right now my only concern is for him to recover I can't concentrate on anything else right now. I hope you understand. I will get it finished its just going to take me a little longer than I had planned.
Everyone please keep him in your prayers his name is Tylor. Thanks

Dragonfly Nana 06-11-2013 02:54 AM

Oh Gena, I can't even imagine what you are going through - what an awful thing for one so young. Prayers for Tylor and both your families as you face the difficult road ahead.
I did take a picture and will post it later.

Paula, it is beautiful! I love how you finished it. I had so much working on this quilt also. :)

Dragonfly Nana 06-11-2013 09:29 AM

Thank you Judith. It is quite a beauty. I just love the vibrant blue and green mixed with the white - so fresh and happy.

jillnjo 06-11-2013 01:58 PM

Paula; Your last round is lovely!! I think it looks fresh and happy, too.
Gena; I'm so sorry about Tyler and such a shock, I can't imagine all your family is dealing with. Many prayers to you.

Tam...Moo 06-11-2013 03:49 PM

Gena,

Just be with your family...I will keep you all in my prayers.

Dragonfly Nana 06-12-2013 03:02 PM

Has anyone heard any more from Gena about Tylor's condition? I hope it is improving.

sewhappy30 06-15-2013 05:59 AM

My heart is broken as I write this...Tylor unfortunately passed away Tuesday evening. The services will be today and tomorrow. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through, trying to comfort my daughter and stay strong for her and hide my own grief. Thank you all for your prayers and concerns and please pray for us this weekend and for Tylors family. I know how hard it is on me I can't even begin to
imagine what their going through.

On a brighter note. Tammy I got your quilt in the mail Thursday I hope you like it I think it's lovely.

Thanks Paula for posting the picture of my finished beauty.

My love to all of you great ladies!!

jillnjo 06-15-2013 06:05 AM

Gena, I am so sorry for you and your daughter and Tylor's family. What a heartache for everyone and still a shock, too. Will pray for you and think of you. God bless you and comfort you. Nancy.

Judith1005 06-15-2013 07:17 AM

Oh Gena, I am so sorry. I will pray for you all. Such a shock to loose one so young.

Dragonfly Nana 06-15-2013 11:54 AM

Oh Gena, my heart and prayers go out to you all. Please know that we are here for you if we can help in any way.

jillnjo 06-18-2013 04:51 PM

Gena; Still thinking of you and caring for your family.
Paula; I see you are starting another fun year of creating another round robin quilt! Love your choice of center and it's so different from this one you made! Have fun!
I'm wondering about my quilt, I'm assuming yaya has it? I am anxious to see a picture of it, as none have been posted since the fourth round. Karen, haven't heard from you in a while-hope your summer is going well. Nancy.

Tam...Moo 06-18-2013 06:53 PM

Gena,

I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my prayers for healing and comfort.

I thanks you so very much for my quilt top. the border you added is just perfect. Each border is sew special. I will cherish my quilt always. thanks ladies so very much. I am honored to have been part of such a talented group.

Dragonfly Nana 06-19-2013 02:33 PM

Tammy - can you post a picture of your finished top?

Nancy - I think you are right that Karen has yours for the final round. I can't wait to see it too. They have all turned out so pretty.
It is true - I have had so much fund doing this with you ladies that I have joined another one for 2013/2014. Another adventure has begun.

sewhappy30 06-22-2013 12:50 PM

Sorry I never got a picture of Tammy's finished quilt before I mailed it. I already had it packaged up and realized I had forgot to take a picture.

I would like to thank each one of you all for your prayers and concerns through our heartbreaking times this past week. We are taking one day at a time. My daughter is doing well of course she has her moments when she breaks down but that's expected. 17 is way to young to leave this world and so unexpected. I know my daughter is strong and will get through this.

Can't wait to see all the finished quilts on here. Thanks again everyone for being such great friends throughout this journey.

Ladies, I cannot thank all of you enough for the beautiful additions to my center and for your friendship and support. I love, love, love my quilt!!! It is a quilt I chose a color my sister loved (yellow) and a color I love (blue) and a piece of fabric for the center (flowers for us both) to remind me of the time that my sister and I spent together. She really loved watching birds and watching the flowers bloom so indeed I will cherish it for always and think of each of you when I look at this beautiful work of art.[ATTACH=CONFIG]421139[/ATTACH]

jillnjo 06-25-2013 05:25 PM

How beautiful!! I am glad I got to add a round to your quilt, Tammy!!

Judith1005 06-25-2013 05:59 PM

Oh Tammy, it is beautiful!! I love how it all came together. I hope your husband is doing well?! It is surely a beautiful quilt to cherish. What a lovely way to honor your sister.

Dragonfly Nana 06-25-2013 07:32 PM

What a great finish - so lovely.

Judith1005 06-28-2013 06:01 PM

Hey Yaya, Would love to see a picture of your completed quilt. Also, maybe you can show us Jillnjo's quilt also without your final round. It hasn't been shown on here in quite awhile. I hope all is well with you and your family. It's been quite awhile since we've heard from you.

yayaquilts 06-30-2013 07:45 AM

Hi fellow robinettes! Sorry I have been "absent" for too long. We've been traveling a lot and our son's 2nd son was born almost a month ago now. Needless to say we've been super busy!

To catch up: I spent a week with my 2 BFF quilting buddies at our "2nd Annual Private Retreat--loads of fun, 3rd week of April!

Last week of April we spent a week in Cancun with some friends, relaxing and reading by the pool, with a few cocktails in hand--wonderful time!

In mid May we took an RV trip to northern California to Fort Bragg where we met our oldest and dearest friends, and our kids' families joined us as well! Always good times!

Grandson Seth Robert weighed in at 8 lbs 7 oz, 20" on June 3rd!! He makes #5 granbaby--3 boys now and 2 girls!!

Just returned from a 2 week trip from Virginia to Gettysburg to Amish country thru NJ, NY, Conn to Newport, RI, Cape Cod, MA and finally to Boston for 3 days! Wonderful--love all the green foliage back east!!!!

Haven't done much sewing or quilting. My last round arrived while we were back east and haven't had a chance to open it. I will try to do that today and take a picture before I add my round. It's bee so long I can't remember when it is due--might be soon. Please know I will finish it and send it to it's rightful owner.....it might be a little late. Please don't fret I will do it as soon as possible. (maybe on our summer camping trip which is fast approaching. We leave the 7th I think and won't be home till about the 12th of Aug--but I'm taking my sewing machine. We are heading in our Rv to Bend, Oregon, (going to the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show as well as taking a quilt class in Bend, while we are there [with our friends again!],then some traveling in the area, then to Lake Almanor near Mt Lasson, CA. I haven't received my finished round as yet!

Retirement is sooooooo busy!!!!:o

Dragonfly Nana 06-30-2013 09:38 AM

Nice to hear from you Karen. You have been a traveling woman and it sounds like you have had great fun and move is in your future.
I believe that you have Yayaquilts (Nancy) lovely pink and white center for the final round.
And I believe Tam...Moo had yours for the final round.

Can't wait to see how them both come out.

jillnjo 06-30-2013 09:52 AM

Hi, Karen! I think you have a surprise in that package! Glad you are enjoying all your travels! We are having a most perfect summer as far as rain and sun goes. My garden is as pretty as I think I've ever seen it!
Can't wait to see my quilt again! Nancy

Here is DragonflyNana's top without the last border--I do need to allow myself time for it to tell me what to add as my border!!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]421837[/ATTACH]

jillnjo 06-30-2013 10:18 AM

Hey, yaya, don't send that to DragonflyNana!!! :D:D-that comes back home to me! And I LOVE it, I love what Tammy added so much. Thanks, Tammy!
Yaya, yours looks gorgeous, too. I love the last 2 small borders Tammy added to it and then finished it off with the white. Lovely.

jillnjo 06-30-2013 10:26 AM

Yaya, please take the time you need as I won't get to quilting it immediately and have no special time or place I need it for, either.

Judith1005 06-30-2013 10:28 AM

Oh Yaya, A new grandbaby. That is definitely a reason to celebrate! Sounds like you are having a great time. :) Thank you so much for posting your quilt and Jillnjo's. I love the final border on yours. (Your right, just right for the 4th of July!) Will look forward to what you add to Nancy's. Have fun deciding where you will go.

TamMoo, I love the border you added to Jillnjo's purty quilt. It looks like a postage stamp. It is so pretty! (And back to a bit of blue. :thumbup:) It's perfect.

Dragonfly Nana 06-30-2013 02:56 PM

I love how both of them turned out. You ladies amaze me with your talents.

Karen - sorry if I confused you. While I would love to have it :cool: please send it home to jillnjo when you have added your round.

yayaquilts 07-01-2013 06:32 AM

Guess I confused myself; I haven't figured out the board names matched with your "real" names!!So glad I have you guys to help me keep things straight. I would/will doublecheck the address to make sure I'm sending the beauty to its rightful owner!!

I will be taking it on my trip and hopefully have time to work on it. I already found the fabrics to use! I just need to decide on how to use them.

ConnieF 07-18-2013 12:13 AM

beautiful
love the colors

blondeslave 07-18-2013 05:21 AM

Pretty blocks!

gramadona 07-18-2013 05:52 PM

So pretty!! You guys are terrific.

yayaquilts 08-13-2013 11:02 PM

Hi all! I'm back from our 5 week RV trip to Northern California, middle and coast of Oregon and Seattle area with a day trip to Victoria, Vancouver Island, where we visited the beautiful Bouchart Gardens. We were so busy sight seeing that I didn't get any sewing done on my last round for jillnjo. I thought I had it all cut out, but as I was sewing on it today I realized I really goofed (I had forgotten to cut out enough pieces for the size of the border I am adding-instead I only cut out for the example which is much smaller). So, I only have 1 side done and 3 more to cut, layout in the pattern and piece together.......again, sorry I am late, but I think you will like what I am adding and the wait will be worth it!!
