I went to a local guild quilt show last weekend and saw a beautiful round robin quilt that really encouraged me as we are beginning a new set of round robins on this board. I took a couple of pictures, since there are so many of us working on one now, to see a finished one and get some really great ideas. The colors were much prettier in person, but you can still see how nice it is.

Very pretty!!

Oh my goodness, that is beautiful!!! I'd love to give that quilt a new home... ;-D
|
Thank you for the lovely pictures Vicki, gosh what timing too. I had just drawn out the design for my next border and what I was considering doing is much the same as one of these borders so I guess it is back to the drawing board now.
Is so lovely seeing an actual finished round robin quilt as they're so inspiring. Have been looking at some of the pictures on this board for finished quilts from the last round robin also. |
Now why would it be back tothe drawing board? If it is like one of these borders, it will be lovely- I say keep it if you like it.
|
Oh I probably will use the ideas I have been accumulating since joining the round robin. Now I have even more of them.
Have been listing or drawing ideas for borders since seeing all our quilt centres. Will not really know which border I will use until I see the actual centre in the flesh so to speak. Have even written down some colour ideas but of course we all know how quilts love to surprise us :lol: |
Beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

a round robin quilt is a group effort where each member of the group makes a center and then they each send their center to the next person in the group, where a border is added. The centers are mailed around the group until all have completed a border, usually each border gets successively wider. Now look at the above quilt and you will see each border that was added by a different person. Currently on this board there are at least 14 groups of six working on round robin quilts. I hope that long sentence makes sense! |
That is gorgeous!! I lurk on the RR threads sometimes. I think (someday, after acquiring more skill and speed!) that would be awesome to participate in.

Mollmct, I haven’t been quilting for very long myself (4yrs since I took it up but had just over a years break from doing anything while we were in limbo from moving and then had 8 month break last year while having my cancer treatment) So you can tell from this that I still consider myself quite new to it all.
TN Donna, the centre of each quilt being worked on belongs to the person who made it and the finished quilt (as in top) is returned to the person who made that centre. I jumped in with both feet and am as nervous as a cat on a tin roof, one of those real slippery ones however am loving the challenge and seeing the centres develop in each group. Maybe1day |
