DIY Round Robin Quilt
The Modern Bee is going to be starting a DIY Round quilting project, but everyone is invited to join in. Here’s how it will work:
- You will make this quilt by yourself. You’ll only be making one quilt. You will not be passing it to other people to add sections.
- Each month we will announce the general design to be used in a guild web page post. The first month (this April) the design will be circles. Do anything you want but make sure there’s a circle someplace. The next month a new design approach will be announced. This will go on for five months.
- There are NO other design rules. So, you will decide on:
- The size of your quilt, anywhere from a miniature to a king size;
- The color scheme;
- The general style and techniques, i.e. modern, traditional, applique, pieced, etc., etc.;
- The use or non-use of any embellishments.
Our goal is to have these quilts finished by January 2025, but pacing is also an individual decision.
Comments: This approach will undoubtedly lead many to construct medallion quilts, but this is not necessary. Some may make ladder-like quilts. Others may have the various sections in a randomly pieced order.
