I've done one round robin where we all put fabric in a sack and the sack was passed around and you had to make a block from the fabric. It was fun, I learned a lot about color theory with that one. But not everyone played fair, I didn't get back all my unused fabric, nor did I get a full set of blocks. So I won't do another round robin unless I really know and trust the people in it.

I am surprised that these quilts came out looking so cohesive and intentional, even thought they were silent collaborations between quilters who never created and discussed an overall plan.

Is the quilt in progress returned to you after each round and you then pass it to the next person in line?<br />I really like how yours turned out but I can't tell how big it is because no one is holding it up like in your other pictures.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814407420789455322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-72528476349238289942017-10-29T17:54:27.675-05:002017-10-29T17:54:27.675-05:00Looks great.

We had a label with space for each oerson to sign so we had the label done but also knew the names of the participants. Some of the workmanship wasn't the best. Including fabric helped keep the colors more consistent. I totally agree that not seeing your own work in progress is best. On the very first one, I stitched many triangles together for a tree, Christmas or otherwise. The guidelines said to return the block in the paper bag. This participant arrived with the block in hand and totally opened so I could see that she added Victorian figures to my tree. I wanted to throw a tantrum! I didn't but hopefully learned something about myself in the process. One time the guidelines stated what had to be added. Ex. Round two - add triangles. Round three - rectangles. All were learning experiences. Thanks for sharing!.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427354321048474574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-86347634403659306862017-10-28T10:10:41.204-05:002017-10-28T10:10:41.204-05:00How big is your Round Robin quilt now (when you re...How big is your Round Robin quilt now (when you received it back)?
