Round Robin Challenge with Jane
I am thrilled that so many of us (24 to date) have decided to stretch our quilting muscles by entering the Round Robin Challenge. We have set out some “guidelines” to go by in this exciting process.
· Each participant will bring to the August 2nd meeting (If you are going to be on vacation and want to participate, you can send your block with someone and pick up your assignment upon your return.)
o A starting block, no larger than 14”x14” (finished). It can be any size less than this. It does not have to be a square, it can be a rectangle. A small piece is perfectly acceptable, keeping in mind, a smaller beginning will probably mean a smaller finished piece. It can be a pieced or appliqued block, or an embroidery piece, or even a fabric panel block, as long as it is within the size above.
o A small bit of fabric that coordinates with the block and maybe points your team in the direction you want…of course, this doesn’t mean it will turn out the way you are envisioning it, and that’s part of the fun.
· We will do three exchanges. Each time, the project will be due back at the next guild meeting. The projects will be passed each month, according to the numerical matrix for that project. PLEASE BE TIMELY!
· You MUST bring the project back to the guild meeting each month after adding something….that will enhance the beginning block and make it better, like…..
o A new border?
o Corners to set the block on point?
o Applique?
o Embroidery, paint/inks, or embellishment?
o Also, if you can, include a bit of the new fabric added to be used in the next round…not mandatory.
· The originator will get the piece back at the end to finish.....
o Make it bigger?
o Add something?
o Cut it up and reset it?
o Quilt and bind to finish.
Remember, this is not brain surgery, it is FUN! During this process, you can bring your projects to Monday quilting at Lake Shastina and all the Guild Wednesday activities for advice or opinions and suggestions if you get stumped. You can also use Google or Pinterest to see lots of border ideas and design options.
Following is a list of people who signed up…if you are interested in joining in and your name is not below, please email me at janelee at cot dot net.
You can also call Jane or Diana to arrange a consult.
