Round Robin Fun Opportunity!
Explanation and Rules
This is a fun collaboration! FUN. We start with a center block and add borders. The borders can be pieced, appliqued, paper pieced, embroidered or embellished. You can include a note with your block with requests, if you like, but group members do not have to follow your requests. Each border, except the final will be due each month at the quilt guild meeting. If you cannot make the meeting, arrangements much be made to get the quilt to pass to next person. You will know who you have to hand it off to.
Sign-ups will begin in February at the Guild meeting.
If you cannot make the meeting, you can email Terry Duncan at Terryduncan53@gmail if you want to be included. If you are interested in doing it plan on having your center block done by the March meeting.
The center blocks will be handed out in March and off we go!
Center Block: • Make a block 12 ½” – 18 1/2“unfinished
This can be a pieced block, applique, panel block as long as it meets the 12-18” requirements. DO NOT Make your block a prime number!
No 13- or 17-inch blocks! It makes it difficult to make borders.
Groups will be approximately 6 people. This will come out to a center square and 5 borders. Depending on the number of participants we will adjust the group size.
If you have questions, please contact Terry. This is a new endeavor, and it can evolve. Any points of clarification are very welcome!
New Year. New Challenge! Let’s do it!
