Judith, it's perfect!! I totally love that turquoise fabric and the pattern! I have used that fabric in that color and maybe another color! My center is packaged and ready to deliver to you. Probably get it to the PO tomorrow.

I will get to put the finishing round on your center!! Whee-hoo!

Can I add a me 3 on this also. This is my first round robin also. And also wonder if my skill are up to these beauties. But, knowing I'm not the only one to feel this way, makes me feel better. But, I just know they are all going to be great. And I will feel more confident after pushing myself to try something new.

I'm so ready to get started. I can't wait to see the color of yours up close and personal before I pull fabric. And, I can't wait to see what mine will look like next year after all of you have worked on it. :) I will be mailing mine next week. I going to try to have it ready on Monday.

I'm a lurker who loves to watch as RRs progress. This one is going to be fun to watch. You've all made some beautiful centers!

Judith1005, love your center, the colors are so pretty. I will be adding the second round to yours can't wait to see what Paula (dragonfly nana) adds to it. And now that makes 5 of us with blue in our center. That's so cool. Ok we only need one more picture from tam...moo to finish out the pictures of our centers.

This is my 2nd round robin, and I promise you all you will enjoy it, and learn lots from it. The main thing is to have fun. I can't wait to get started. I'm mailing mine out Monday it goes to tam...moo.

Judith that is darling and as Gena said - another shade of blue! :thumbup: A fabric I have immediately sprang into my head that should go perfectly with what you have shown, but like you said I will wait until it arrives just to make sure.
I am looking forward to being the first to add to it.

Now, if Tam...moo also chose blue for her Christmas style - it is really going to be funny.

Could you please explain how this works? I don't understand the concept here.

Go back to post no.38 on this thread and it is explained how a RR works!

Paula, thanks for the explanation, I get it now. So each quilt will be square unless you make your original center rectangular. Each person adds a pieced border of the predetermined size but of their own creation in both color and design, then passes it on to the next person in line. Would anyone ever add a regular strip border, either narrow or wide, at any point, if they felt it was appropriate to the design?
Would it be considered inappropriate to start with a, say, 36" center if you wanted to end up with a larger quilt at the end???? Or do you also pre-determine acceptable ranges for the starting square sizes too?
What is the usual turnover time that each person keeps the quilt piece they have between times to pass it on? I am leary of deadlines. LOL
Thanks for educating us on this process. Maybe one day I, too, will be brave enough to join one. LOL

Judith, I am sooooo in love with the turquoise color in your block!! I love all your blocks but that color is one of my favorites.

PS: What does the hint about having the white background fabric in your stash mean? Would you share it if someone wanted to use it in their section of your quilt?

Wildyard, Yes, there was a pre-determined max size your center block is. We have 2 months to work on each others centers. We will not get them back till next year. Now, the begining rounds won't take that long. But, as the quilt "grows", you will need a bit of extra time to construct and attach your round. Sometimes a plain border is appropriate and it's fine to use it.

And, thank you. I am really starting to like the 30's reproduction prints. I like that color a lot also. (giggle:))

Wow, ladies - your centers are amazing. Mine seems so plain compared to yours. I can see the challenge is on! I can hardly wait.

Ohhh Tam...Moo, your block is anything but plain. It is lovely!!!!

Tam...moo, you are onto blue, too!! It's beautiful! I always love florals, but haven't worked a lot with them. Don't know why, either! Now, I'll have a chance with this lovely blue and yellow print!
What size is it? It looks like a rectangle.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant. I will be the last one in this robin to work on her quilt so I thought I would make the offer.

Tam...moo Your block is very creative. I love the floral center. It amazes me that all 6 of us have some shade of blue as a main color and we never had a clue what anybody's looked like until they were posted. This is going to be one great round robin. I will be adding the final border to yours tam...moo so I've got quite a while to think about it.

Oh Tam..moo that is stunning!

Well, that makes it official - all used some shade of blue. Should we call ourselves The Blue Robins ? {{{groan}}}

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

OK here the are all together. What a stunning group.

and leave it to me to be the odd-man-out with the round center :p

You all have beautiful blocks!!

I don't know how you did that, but it's exactly what I wanted to see!! Thanks and let the show begin!

copied each from here, put them each into a Powerpoint slide and saved the whole group as a new picture.
Glad you like it.

Oh How fun What great idea love the centers..

I would love to have one of each of your centers. They are all beautiful. I will be watching to see how each one is finished.

All are lovely. Five have blue and/or turquoise in the block. It will be interesting to see how each of you adds to the blocks. I enjoyed learning how the Round Robin works; I was not sure about the procedure.

I was just thinking last night how I wish they were all together in one place to look at. You must have been reading my mind. lol Thanks for doing this. I love it!

Even though they all have some shade of blue (which amazes me) they are still very unique it will be so much fun to see what we decide to add to them as they get to us.

I really love this block. Does it have a special name? Great work.

lizzy which block are you asking about?

I love the blue turquoise as well but I changed my mind at the last minute to use the colors that my sister loved she just passed away in December so I wanted to have something just to remember her by.

Tammy, I was wondering if you created that block? I would want to do just the same if I had a loved one who had passed away. I'm sure you still miss her a lot. Did your sister quilt? Are you a cattle rancher? Or a cotton grower? Most every cow I see in my area is a dairy cow!

Those are going to be some fantastic quilts. you all made beautiful centers. love all. joyce j

I had not heard of this ... but it sounds like a really fun thing to do... look forward to seeing everyones' creativity. So far the centers are great.. ..

OOo, pretty. LOL, we all went with some type of blue. Tam Moo, I love the florals you used. It should really be fun to work on. I'm so sorry about your sister.

Paula, This is awesome. I love what you did with the photos. It is all so neat to see all the different styles and colors used. I am going to enjoy working on each and everyone.
:)

I love all the blocks, maybe cuz I love blue. Did you decide they should all lean to the blue?

No, that was just a coincidence. We had no clue what anyone was making until we posted them here,and I couldn't believe that all 6 of us had some color of blue as a big part of each block.

Just another case of "great minds think alike"

Judith - I know what I am going to do with your center when it arrives! Just want to make sure the colors match.
Gena - Mine will be in tomorrow's mail to you. Good luck. Actually, I have no clue what I would do next with my center.

Paula, I've actually been looking at some things today for yours, have a few ideas but won't really know until I see it in person. After looking at it for a few days I'm sure it will come to me. I'll probably change my mind several times before I decide anyway. lol I can't wait to see it!!

Paula, I'm going to try to get mine out to you tomorrow. But, I will let you know for sure. My cocker spaniel had surgery a couple of days ago. She's doing well. But, her bandage change is tomorrow. And I will take my mom to run errands tomorrow. So, I will try to incorporate a trip to the P.O. also.

I get to work on Nancy's first. And I don't have a clue what I'm going to do yet. I like to look and feel before I decide what direction I want to head in. I'm getting excited tho. I always get such inspiration from the fabrics and style used also.:)

I can be patient as I have a DQ to finish first so no rush if you don't make the PO tomorrow. I hope your fur baby will get a good report when the bandage is removed.

I am a graph paper gal - I have already drawn out the centers that Judith and Nancy posted. I copy them and then play on paper until I get a feel for what I want to do. When I decide - most of the math is already done because of the graph paper. :-)

I love playing on graph paper too, and I think it will be a fun exercise to take your centers and see what I come up with to add. It will be fun to compare my ideas to what you all do.
