Round Robbin Quilt #2

While deciding what to do for the first Round Robbin Quilt, I decided that I'd start one of my own. This block was one of a bunch of ideas I had for my own quilt. Its a combination of a Windmill and flying geese patterns. I saw it in a craft magazine and right away I knew what colors I was going to make it with. Something wild, fun, alive, and active is how I would describe it. So after finishing it, I sent it off to have another wonderful crafter put a round on it...


Here it is with the "Second Round" added to it...


The wonderful crafter added so much to my block. The blue behind the block is my curtain that I use to study out quilt pieces and blocks....
The interior frame really sets off my center block. It really focuses the eye to notice that first. The borders are a yellow with a tan-ish color added for a design. The blues having been sewn in that way also aid the eyes to see the center block. I just can't get over how imaginative the crafter was..
Well its now my turn to add the next round, and with many ideas once again running through my head, I can't decide what the next round is going to be yet.....
