Really beautiful -- I love doing RRs -- even the reluctant ones :-) :-) :-)

These are wonderful! Out of curiosity ....what rules/guidelines did you have for this RR...we've tried one at guild but many pooped out....I think the RULES were overwhelming for most, and scared people off....Any ideas/suggestions for RR?

Thanks for 'publishing' these Frances. They are lovely. Obviously a lot of fun was had by everyone. . In article , Dumpling writes

Hi Fran,

They are all great!

I don't understand what a round robin is. I've saw it mentioned here but I don't follow the concept. Could someone explain this to me or is there a place I can go read about them?

I'll give it a go! A round robin has a group of people involved. Each person makes a center block. Each person mails their center block to the next person on their list. That person takes the block and adds a border. They then pass the block on to the next person. That person puts a border on and it gets passed again until everyone has added a border and it returns to its original maker. When a Round Robin starts the group gets to decide the rules for their group. In the only one Ive done so far the rules were that we start with a 13 to 15 inch center block. We add a 3 to 6 inch border of our choosing (plain, applique or pieced) and we could specify a theme for our center block to be carried thru the added borders. My theme was 'home is where the heart is" or something similar. We had a month to add our borders and send them on. Anything that isnt clear? Just ask! Diana

Those are ALL wonderful. Great jobs ladies.

Pati, > Hi All

Thanks! I liked them all, but the "red one" (yours?) really caught my eye. I'd have entered the guest book, but was told I had to log in, and logging isn't permitted in these forests any more.

P.S. What is the "bush" behind most of the pictures?

I think the only rule was that each border had a max size of 3" finished. Best thing I've ever done!

Each participant does a "central" block and then the "blocks" do a round of every other person, each of whom attaches a new border to it.

Now it makes sense! Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like a lot of fun. It would really be interesting to see what other people came up with based on your centre. I think I'll join one next time 'round :-)

Wow! What a great collection of tops. Take a bow ladies. The Spring Fling Assymetric borders groups are winding down. We're running a bit late on our final deadlines but hope to have them up for viewing soon.
