round one
I did get some time to quilt this weekend. I got the first round done for our quilt group's Round Robin. I should be safe posting this since the person it belongs to doesn't even know I have a blog. I had a little bit of a tough time deciding on the border. This round was triangles and as you can see her entire block was hst's. I decided to go with a narrow black border to end the triangles in the block so I could build on that. I am reasonably happy with the outcome although I did add 14" to the 16" block. Hopefully not everyone wants to do such a wide border or her's is going to end up huge. We trade next Tuesday and the next block I am getting will be a Christmas Tree. I will have to do squares and/or rectangles. I have an idea kicking around in my brain, but I have to wait to see what the triangle border looks like.

This is very pretty. Whoever it belongs to is very lucky.
Ohh, I like that too - If she doesn't like it, she can mail it to me!
I think you did a fabulous job with it! It really looks nice!
Ah such fun... I love the idea of round robins. I love the choices. I love seeing how different prople interpret the designs, etc.
This is beautiful! You will have a lot of fun in your Round Robin. I know I did.
Oh, I love it!!! It is the perfect compliment to the middle block. The owner will be tickled!
Oh what you did is beautiful though! It looks great! Can't wait to see what you do with the xmas tree!
looks perfect...have fun with the next one!
That looks like a perfect choice of borders, Tami
That looks great! If you need another 1/2 square triangle idea, check out my blog at http://myquiltinglife.blogspot.com
Our RR theme is not necessarily triangles (it's just any border between 3" - 6"), but that's what I did for the one I have now and it looks really neat (even though it feels like it's 1000s of those little triangles...LOL).
Great job!
Great job Tami - you will have fun with the round robin!
Wonderful piece! Round robin quilts can turn out great ... better than what any one of the contributors would've ended up doing. I like the design challenge of making elements work. Plus there's the push for me to go where I would never have thought of going design wise on my own.
Tami...fabulous!!! Love it!

I like the look of this RR :-) I hope we get a chance to see the finished quilt top when it is done.
When I first saw this, I didn't realize you had already added your section. It looks so natural! I'd be happy with it, too!
Very fun round robin so far! I love it!

You did a terrific job with this - your border perfectly complements the starting block.
