I think it would be kind of interesting and different.

We still need to finish up the row robin we have going before we want to get started on that. I'm not sure where we are with all the quilts. I have mine back, Mish has hers, and I am putting rows 11 and 12 on Lil's. I just put row 9 and 10 on Ripped's quilt and will be sending it to Lil for Row 11. Lil has Bernie's which, I believe, she is adding row 7 and 8 and then sending it to me since it bypassed me when Patty sent it to Lil. Lil also has Materialgirl's quilt to which she is adding rows 10 and 11 and sending to me for row 12.

I don't know where the other quilts are (other than Patty's, which I know KathyN has) or how many rows need to be done on any of them. I think most should be about finished.

I'm thinking June would be a good time to start the new one if that's okay with everyone. That gives us time to finish what we're working on and make a five block row (6" blocks) for our theme. I would appreciate it if all who want to participate again would PM me so I know for sure how many want to do it and then we'll go from there.

If anybody has any other ideas on how to do the next one, let me know.

My friends from Vancouver that I go to Sisters, Oregon with in even numbered years get together in the odd years in Council, Idaho at one of our friend's cabin and sew for a week and shop and go to the Council quilt show. Hope you're retreat is something fun like that.

Glad you're in on the next one. Looks like we're down to 9 now unless someone else can't do it.
