Hi Paula, thanks for letting me know. :thumbup: I wrote down that the next round is 5 1/2" unfinished. (Yes) I am so glad you like what I added. I bet we'll all worry to the end whether or not "so and so" will like it. I personally am going to love whatever you do. I am just enjoying the experience and hopefully will make NEW quilty friends. And, I am also learning so much as I go along.:)

Oh, and Paula, I LOVE your signature line. It is so true. (Or at least I can identify with that. lol)

Thanks for the encouragement Judith. My siggy line is from a cross stitch my mom made (the only one) and it hung on a wall in every house I lived in growing up - now it hangs in my house. I have found it to be very true and it goes hand in hand with thanking God for unanswered prayers. We may have a plan but He has a better one.

Dragonfly Nana--Yes round 2 is 5".

I'm excited to get the next center. For me it's such a relief when I get one finished and I am really happy with it, like the one I just finished (dragonfly nana's). I think sometimes we put to much pressure on ourselves, but I've come to learn that if your happy with what you have done the original owner usually is also.

I love this round robin, it keeps getting more exciting with every round!!

Wow it is like a great adventure to watch you magnificent quilters at work!

So we don't get to see any more pics till you are done? Awwwwww..... lol.

I wouldn't mind seeing pics as they progress but I think the other robinetts want to be surprised.

No, I'm with you also Paula, I wouldn't mind seeing pictures along the way too. It's fun to ooo, ahh along the way. But if the others want a suprise, I'm fine with that too. I've been taking pictures along the way so the others can see when it gets to me what was added and what I added.

Hi everyone! We are back from a short trip and I'm just catching up. I'm ok with showing pictures-I also plan to take a photo of each round I add.

That's 3 oks to pics as you go, anyone else? Smilesssssssssssss

sewhappy30 - Judith's center is on its way to you - I just left the post office.

Received it today Dragonfly Nana. Love what you did to it.

I'm ok with Pictures as we go. However, I've already sent Dragonfly Nana's to Tam...moo and forgot to take a picture, but she could post it for me, if everyone what to post after each round.

Tam...moo have you received the one I sent you? You should have gotten it Monday according to the postoffice. Just want to make sure you got it so I can breath a sigh of relief. lol

Yes it is here and it is stunning...hope I can figure out what to add. I am so sorry...I thought I sent you an email...my apologies and thank you for checking with me.

Since Judith105 was ok with showing pictures I will start. Here is what I did to her lovely center. While it is hare to tell in the picture, the red in the corners has little white polka dots :)

:shock: Oh, wow, Paula, I LOVE it. POLKA DOTS!!! are my favorite!!! lol (Can you tell?!!)

Nancy, since your ok with pictures being posted also. Here's my first round for your top.

Judith, all I can say is "WOW"! I love it to death! Pink! is a color I seldom play with, not because I don't like it, and it makes the center pop and the blue shine!! Oh, boy, this is fun!

YaYa, do you want to see your first round? I have a picture, but want to be sure you are OK with it. Nancy.

Dragonfly, it looks great! I have my 30's prints stashed together and will have lots of fun adding the last round to Paula's center. I think of her quilt every time I open that cupboard!

Ladies, let me tell you that the pink Judith used is Awesome! The picture just doesn't do it justice.

Judith - I knew you loved polka dots which is why I HAD to use that fabric. It was the "perfect" one in my stash that I mentioned early on. Glad you like it.

WOW ladies, I am blown away by what I see so far. Your additions have certainly set the bar high for the rest of the RR rows. I love it!!!

Why thank you wildyard. I'm blushing. I just so want to make my group happy and proud of whatever border I add. So, I guess that really does push me to do my very very best.

Paula, what is the name or number of you ROW robin group. I'd love to stop in and oo and ahh every now and then. These swaps sure are addicting. I have been refraining from joining too much, Because, I know I will be out of town soon when my daughter has her baby. But, boy oh boy do I WANT to join. I think I'll start making some winter blocks and see what I can get done before I get called to go visit. I will check back later. ta ta :)

Judith, I am in Group #2 of the Row Robin. I can't believe that we have 11 groups! (55 players)
It is fun checking on them all - such cool themes. It will be a lot of eye candy as it progresses.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it, I thought it looked really good after I was done. If you can post a picture of it before you add anything, I would appreciate it, that way Paula and everyone else can see what was added, I forgot to take a picture before I sent it out.

I love what's been added so far, you all have done a great job, they are so pretty. Maybe mine will pop up soon so I can ohh and aah some more. lol

Yes, I wanted to join that RR too, but I knew I'd better not-I'm in too many swaps aready! I'm afraid I won't get quilts put together from them, but I still love the blocks!

Yayaquilts and Tam...moo do you want pictures of your quilts posted after each round? I think you two are the only ones we haven't heard from yet about this. 4 say yes so far.

Yaya said yes in her email so Jillnjo or Judith please post a picture!

Ok, here is Yaya's center with Jillnjo's round. It's a beautiful addition. And the small red border is a perfect frame for the border I'm planning to add. Hope you like it.

Oops, I mean the small blue border. lol (Now how did I mix that up. lol)

Love what you done to yaya's center jillnjo, so pretty.

Tam...moo could you please post a picture of Dragonfly Nana's before you start on it, I never took a picture before I mailed it, sorry.

me too! It really makes the center pop and as Judith said - it sets the perfect stage for the her round.

Yes - please! I have no idea what I would have done so it will be great to see where Gena went with it.
So exciting!

I have an idea for yours DragonFly Nana. But, It really depends on what everyone else is doing. I get to work on SewHappy's and yours last. So, I really look forward to seeing what everyone else is doing. I know, I'll probably change my mind just a few times between now and then. lol But, like you, I am really interested to see how SewHappy started it out.

Tam Moo, how are you doing? Haven't heard from you in awhile. Hope all is going well. :) I'm really excited to work on your top as well. I can't wait to see how the color story unfolds in you center. :)

Oh Paula, I get to go shopping for your center when I receive it. I have VERY few batiks in my stash. I'm just saying....oh yeah. Shopping for batiks at Paducah, Hancocks. lol

Gena, your top is going to be super fun to work on also. I LOVE polka dots. So, I also can't wait to see how the color story evolves in your quilt also. :)

Hi Nancy, how are you doing? It sounds like your mini Vacation was super fun.

YaYa, I have soooo many ideas going for yours. I also love working with R*W*B. But, I am waiting to get started on yours till after my daughter has her baby. Right now, we're playing the waiting game. Her due date is next week. But, she has started with a little hypertension this week. (So, we'll see how this plays out.) But, if she doesn't go into labor next week....I'm going to get started on your center. I think I have finally commtited to the border I like best. :)

The weekend is almost here. I hope yall will have a good weekend.!

See ya back here soon.:)

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA---I haven't been getting the email notifications like I used to get--not sure why. Been too busy to head over here as well. I replied to the email about posting pictures.

Jillnjo love what you did with my center! Thanks! This is exciting to see how our centers grown and blossom!!

We were on a trip for two weeks to Wash DC, Virginia and North Caroling and had a wonderful time sightseeing, despite the hot humid weather!!! I was home a couple of weeks during which time my daughter and family moved in with us, with their 3 little ones (5 yr, 2 yr, 1 yr) and they are really keeping our house alive :o!!! I didn't get much sewing done. Then I went on a quilt retreat and got a lot of sewing done, including my "center." Will try to post a picture over the weekend and then get it in the mail.

When I returned from my quilting retreat (which was a blast!!) on Monday afternoon, I decided to set up my sewing machine in our study....since the 1 yr old naps and sleeps in my sewing room. Now hopefully I will be able to get more sewing done. (My hubby isn't too thrilled that I set up my sewing machine in the study.......oh well). I'm keeping it organized and neat and packing things up each time I am done so he doesn't get too upset! ......things are chaotic here and we aren't sure how long they will be living with us! So making the best of it!!!

Karen, I also have not been getting the emails, not sure what's going on with that.

I think you should have my quilt to add to this time, I've not heard from Tam..moo for a while, so if you don't mind could you post mine before you start on it as well as Tam...moo's before you mail hers on. Thanks

Paula, I hope you like what I added to yours, I thought it looked very pretty and accomplished exactly what I wanted to do. Can't wait for you to see it.

Judith - I wish I could go shopping with you at Hancocks of Paducah! So jealous!
Gena - I am sure I will love it.
Karen - It sounds like you had and are having fun.

As for not getting emails - check your subscription again. Some have been changing on their own but most likely it is because each time you get an email from a thread you have to check in to the thread. IF you don't you will not get another email from that thread until you do. Hope that helps.

I have Nancy's now and what I have planned for this round it is going to take me very close to the "official" mail date to have completed but I know it will be worth it.

Can I ask a favor of Judith and Nancy? Would you both be willing to mail me some scraps of the Pink (Judith) and the Blue (Nancy) material you used?
If that is not practical - please email me the Name and manufacturer. I would love to use a little of both of them in my round.
Thanks

Wow. The center blocks are gorgeous by themselves it will be amazing to see them transformed into a quilt which will be nothing less than stunning I bet. Can't wait to see them all finished. Will be fun to follow.

I am just loving this process of round robin. I guess this is going to be one of the biggest thread of this community. In addition to that I liked the posted quilts over here as all of them are too good as well as too attractive to look at.
