Round Robbin Quilt

I have the honor of participating in making a Round Robbin Quilt. I've not had the chance before so this project is extremely exciting for me.

This was the block I was given. I felt that it was country-ish, fragile, warm and cozy. It "talked" to me in a variety of next round designs. After studying out this block with all the possible ideas running through my head, I then rushed to draw it out on paper before starting my round.

Here is my round, "The Second Round" on the block given to me...

This round became a family project. When I saw the block, the first thing I saw was that it needed some new colors introduced. The block was screaming at me to find a blue with flowers in it. I took the block to a fabric store and literally threw it on the bolts of fabric there. I picked out this blue material with white flowers, Chris picked out the pink and green, Alex said that it needed to have white in it and Sammy said that it should have "diamond" patterns around it. So indeed, my family and I all had a part in putting our selections into it. The picture makes it a bit darker as shown here, but in "real-life" the colors are not so bold.

I sent it off and now anxiously await the return. I wonder what it will look like....
