So!
The way this will work is: We each make our center pieces.
Then, we receive a package from the person before us.
But, the next exchange will mean that I am making the second border ...
so, in the end of the exchange, we will have all actually made a complete quilt, but not all the same border ....
I was sort of hoping that I could do the second border over and over again! <g> Its that compulsive/obsessive thing ... now that I have a name for it, I am just letting it have its way with my mentality! LOL
It has actually taken me this long to figure out that I will get to experience each step of the quilt, but not on the same quilt ...
what a clever concept!
Lord! I hope I live long enough .... I will have to call the attorneys and get it put into my will just in case! LOL ... or! never mind ... I forgot what I was going to say <g>

2. I will work on 6 other quilts - having 2 mo to finnish that border on each of the quilts and send on to the next person.
3. make a label to send along with my center square.
Well what have I forgotten????????
I really want to join but not sure....... I understand everything.
Have never done a round robin - sure sounds like fun.

Omak,
LOL we all hope to live long enough to complete this :D
You have the concept correct. Each parcel you receiving will require a slightly larger border. Print out the Rules on Page 1 of this Topic and you can refer to it. I did that with the first RR I did and it really helps.

Klue, I read that you were going to be using water soluble thread.
This is great for your own projects, but just think if someone inadvertently got a mark on your quilt and decided to wash it. Disaster would strike. Pleas correct me if I am thinking wrongly.
Can everyone just make a little note that everything needs to be washable whatever you do. If you embellish it make sure its washable. Sew any sequins or buttons, whatever on very strongly. The quilts will be 14 months in the handling and everyone I am sure will be very careful, but as we all know life happens.
