I agree, this will be fun to watch as you all progress. I have often wanted to do such a round robin but I have been to shy because I fear my skills will not be up to par with others. I know my confidence problem.

For those of you who have asked about my center: It is made by sewing two strips together and then cutting "wedges" with a 12 degree ruler placed on an angle across the strip set. You sew the wedges together like you would a Dresden Plate. Then you applique on a center. Adding the corner pieces was a bit tricky for me as I hate to sew curves - but I got it done.

Patti; This is a first for me, too! The "unknown" is so exciting to me. I wonder about my ability to choose the right thing for a round, it's going to be a challenge. I have a couple books that teach about borders and I keep looking at quilts that are made with centers and several borders!

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.

Ok Robinettes, this is the center I picked. It's called 1930's square from QuiltersCache.com. It's still a bit overcast here for pictures. But, hopefully this will do the job. It's 14 1/2" square.
