Hi Linda - Sure it goes like this: Say you have 6 players, identified as A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Each player makes a "center" and mails it to the next player in line: A mails to B, B mails to C, etc. B them adds a border or "round" to what was received from A B then mails the whole thing to C C adds a round and mails it to D And so on through the list to F, each player adding a round to the whole that was received. F then mails it for the last time back to its owner A as a completed quilt top. The size for each "round" is determined before the robin begins. So for the first round each player might add a 3" round to what they receive. The second round each player would add the next stated size - say a 5" round. The end size of each quilt is determined by the creator based on the size of the center initially sent Hope that helps. |
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?

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.
