FWIW everyone worries about how the originator will like the work done, and how the next quilter will handle what you did! But the whole fun of a Round Robin is the unexpected. In one RR I participated in, the only prompt was "Make it even better!", and that was a lot of fun.

When I get a RR to work on I have found a few things that help frame my thinking about how to approach that next round (apart from any prompt given):

1. Play with scale
2. Which colour in the piece has been under-used and how can I either add more or emphasize what is there?
3. Can I push the composition off centre? (that usually adds interest)
4. If there is a lot of linear, straight line components, can I add curves/circles? or vice versa


Oh and one tip for photographing: stand close enough to your finished round such that the piece fills the frame. That will look great in the final slide show.
Thanks for the tips and encouragement WW! I hope to relax into this a bit as we go on....
