The thing I like best about RR work is that you are pushed to apply the skills you have in new ways, pushed to acquire new skills (like block lotto prompts, RR prompts are often intentionally made to get you to try some particular technique), and you are also pushed to solve a design puzzle.

I think most quilters find that the RR process brings out a whole new quilter in them. I for one dislike paper piecing (I find it hard to think upside down and backwards, which I am told means I can never be a helicopter pilot...guess helicopter pilots are also whizzbang at paper piecing...) but I had to use PP to do what I wanted to do to the starter block I got in the last RR I participated in. Made me a lot better at PP!

Like Peckish and 1CharmShort I am getting no takers in my quilt guild for forming a Mad Adders team.

Is there anyone out there that is willing to do this via mail? It adds some extra time pressure and mailing costs, but I am on to form a team of 6 where we mail our work to each other.

Thanks Thimblebug! Meanwhile, I am still looking for fun, inspirational and unusual RR quilt prompts!

I don't know how I totally missed this thread on all my "new posts" checks. I would have jumped in earlier to let you know that the QB Mad Adder wanna be's were looking for folks! WesternWilson, now that you're our seventh team member, you can be my Round Robin Jiminy Cricket as I have never led a group and have never done a round robin and love insight and advice. Peckish, it sounds like you have done this before so be sure to keep me on track as I try to keep our Terd of Hurtles going in the right direction.

Please don't hesitate, any of you, to give advice or comments on the QB Flinging Flimsies Mad Adders thread!

Thank you for getting folks to us, Thimblebug6000!!!

Peckish

Ha! I've NOT done a round robin before, I've only talked to others, most of whom didn't enjoy it much. So I'm sitting right next to you in this boat!

The QB Flinging Flimsies are going to be rocking the boat together then! I think it will help that we are all willing to try something new and are flexible about expectations. The operative word is FUN! If it isn't fun, we are not doing it right and so we need to adjust accordingly.
