Hearts 2 Round Robin

Over the years I've swapped hearts with many ladies on the internet and I've always wanted to do something with them. I recently joined a Round Robin on the CQI list entitled Hearts. I knew I wanted to use one of the hearts I had swapped I just needed to figure out how.

After several trial and error attempts I came up with this block. I'm really excited to send it out for the ladies to work on in the RR. I used a lot of swap fabrics also to make this truly a group block. Pat Winter pieced the heart and now five ladies will stitch around it. I plan to ask them to add as many pansies and dragonflies as they want!

Don't you think this is going to be a cool block?



When the block comes home I plan to use this gold to make the borders of the block.

FFT 1 - My Round Robin Block

My latest Crazy Quilted Round Robin Block has returned home! Don't you just love the excitement of opening up the package when you know what is inside! I really loved the colors of this CQ block and it was really hard to get true color pictures to show up online but after several attempts I found if I turned off the flash it showed up better than with the flash. As always you can get a closer look at the pictures by clicking on them and opening them to full size.

Many thanks to the ladies in the RR; Gerry, Peggy, Diane, Debbie and Cindy! What a beautiful block you have created for me.

Don't you just love all the different stitches and textures used on RR blocks. They are a great learning tool for the beginner and experienced stitcher.

Every corner has something beautiful to look at with one corner is left for me to stitch on. Thanks again ladies!

Gerry's FFT1 RR Block

Here is Gerry's Round Robin block all finished and ready to mail out this week. It turned out great and I think Gerry will be happy!

I was looking for some ideas to add to the RR block I'm working on and I found this block in the 'pile'. It has a few good seam treatments I think I will try on this block. It's great having all these blocks to refer to for ideas! Even better than looking at pages in a book.

Cindy's Block - Round Robin

I worked on Cindy's Bunny this round. It will be a really cute bunny when it returns home!

I worked on the mid-section of the back and the bottom of the front piece.

Peggy did the ears on the front and the back.

While putting together some fabric packs this past weekend I stumbled across a Round Robin block from 4 - 5 years ago. I never did anything with it ... LOL ... I have a lot of blocks just sitting in my UFO pile. Upon much reflection I decided it was calling out to me and so I picked it up and cut it into pieces.

"Yikes .... what have I done ... I asked myself ... look at all these small pieces!?" Slowly I picked up each piece and placed them on another piece of foundation fabric and starting putting these 'new' blocks together using some of the colors in the packages.

Sometimes I get excited by the color combinations I package up for others. Now I have all these great blocks. All I have to do is finish embellishing them and another project out of the UFO pile!
