We have begun! Our first exchange April 27, 2010.

We have begun our Round Robin for 2010/11 and it is going to be a great year! For those of you who are not familiar with this quilting soiree', I will explain. We begin with a block of the same size. This year it is 12-1/2". As you will see in our pictures, we all have very different blocks and that's what makes this unique! We pass to a different person in our group each month, not letting the owner see how her original submission is progressing. We have set sizes for borders but not for the elements. We have some freedom in what we decide to do every month in that respect. This month one person may do triangles, another person may decide to do stars or pinwheels. We will all basically end up with a similar size quilt, but not exact due to optional floater strips, etc. You will not see anymore pictures posted here until the end when we reveal which will be in June 2011! I know... that's a long time to wait! But the wait will surely be worthwhile when we unveil!

We have some previous participants this year along with some new additions. This year's group consists of:
Julie Barlup, Collette Beavers, Ruth (RJ) Pfeiffer, Teresa Prescott, Donna Shoop, Mary Ann Springer, Linda Stacho, Susan Stull, Dot White and myself, Candy Stouffer.

Well, enough talking, let's see the blocks!
