It's Round Robin Quilts today! |
| My friend, Sujata, mentioned something about Round Robin quilts the other day, so I thought I would tell the story of a couple of my quilts. This was a guild challenge, done in 1993 with my partner, Linda Brzykcy. We were given a set of coordinated fabrics (the floral print, and the stripe - maybe one more, I honestly don't remember! It was 22 years ago, forgive me! We had a size limit, but that was about the only rule. |
 |
| I created the center block, inspired by one of my children's books (see below). The book features silhouettes, so I started with that - in black, and a black piping. I added lots of different fabrics to frame the center image, and a narrow black border. |
 |
| Then I passed the quilt to Linda, who added a 9-patch border, made of two different beige prints - which provided me the perfect backdrop for the floral applique. One more black piping before the binding, and I was done. |
 |
| Finished quilt. |
 |
| My inspiration piece - my mom used to read to me out of this sweet book. |
 |
| This poem is also a song - which my mom used to sing to me, and I used to sing to my girls, as I pushed them on our backyard swing. Lots of nostalgia in this quilt project. |
