Just a quick FYI, we found a replacement for the member who needed to drop out of the Blue Jays group.

Hi all. Just to let you know I have received a gorgeous fall themed centre :)Hopefully get lots of fall themed inspiration in the next couple of weeks :)

Awesome SazuB .... I hope your wedding went wonderfully and please please enjoy your honeymoon.

Glad to hear from you Sarah! How was the wedding?
Hope everyone is ready for the next round! Can't wait to get a center to work on! And, yeah me! I am now a part of the blue jays swap now. Doing a blue and yellow quilt with them!

SazuB I am glad you got the top. I have been tracking it and your faster then the PO is in posting. Have fun with it. To let all know whatever you all do is great with me. I figure if is not big enough for me I can make it bigger. Looking forward to getting things going. By the way have a great time.

Look what I received today - SazuBMidlands' center! It is very unique with lovely embroidery in the center to emulate the outer fabric. This will take some thinking to come up with a clever round.
I hope she had a lovely wedding and is enjoying her honeymoon.

oh wow that is unique....very beautiful though

Not sure what I will do for my round for this one yet. I will be working on your black/green/yellow piece this weekend since I finally received the Black Kona that I ordered. All the other pieces are ready to go.

Nexxus sent to LeStrong and arrived
LeStrong sent to SazuBMidland and arrived
SazuBMidland sent to Dragonfly and arrived
Dragonfly sent to Alikat ...????????????? has it arrived yet
Alikat sent to Nexxus and arrived

Shame faced here :(
Dragonfly has not even made her center yet......thought the mail date was the 30th.
I promise to get it out by Monday

Okay dokie.....it's hard sometimes to keep everything straight. I completely understand

Thanks - I feel horrible. This is the only deadline I have every missed in 4 years. I won't miss the next one.

Okay not a problem I worry more about those that don't respond at all. I at least know your around and been helping get your mom all settled at your brothers place. I am close with my mother but don't we could live together for very long but my youngest brother and her do live together..well my dad is there too but they are very close and get along wonderfully

I finished my block tonight. You guys said you wouldn't mind helping me with a quilt for my work neighbor who loves purple so her is what I came up with for the center.

Sorry the background is so dark - but it is nighttime.

As a note - she also loves all the citrus hues like lemon, lime, orange, and hot pink so the sky is the limit with bright colors if you think they will work in your round.
Again, my apologies for being late.

Hey Melinda - I don't see a picture of your center posted. Please share one and I can make a composite picture to put on the thread.

DragonflyNana, Wow! What a fab center. I am just following this thread to get ideas since I am in my first one (Roadrunners). Kind of scary...making something for someone else. A TR or MR is not so bad but to work on something that will eventually be a quilt. Yikes.

Love your block. It has a real wow effect to it:) Great job!

Calling on all Cardinals - and other quilters reading this thread. I need your opinions on my idea for my round on the center below that SazuBMidlands made.

Since it is 24 1/2" square I was thinking of doing 4" pinwheels. The background is very dark - almost black so I was thinking about using a gold-ish yellow as one part for all of the pinwheels and the other part of each one would be one of the other colors in the circles- teal, red, green, brown. Thoughts?

I absolutely love pinwheels Paula and that is such a fun center, reminds me of a birthday party with confetti.. pinwheels would be perfect. is it going on point or staying square???

I think it should stay square as it will add to the geometric feel but I will put that out to Sazu.

Sazu - what would be your preference for your center? Stay squared or should I put it on point?

I like the idea of pinwheels, but I'm also happy for whatever. Part of the beauty of these RRs is to see what everyone does.
I hadn't really thought about it going on point either. Could be nice, but it depends if it fits with anyone's plan to do so. I don't mind what size it finishes as though.
Sorry - not being particularly helpful, but I really don't mind!

no worries Sazu - being open about how it turns out is part of the fun. I promise we will make it beautiful for you.

Sazu its great to hear from you. How did your trip go for you? I agree with Dragonfly the open to whatever is the wonderful part of RR. I have to say everyone in our group is amazing. Also I wanted to let you ladies know that Alikat was in a car accident spent some time in the hospital but she is back home and healing. Alikat if your reading this I hope you don't mind me telling the ladies I just thought you wouldn't mind the extra prayers. I look forward to seeing everyone's encouraging words in here.

Oh dear. Alikat, hope you get better soon. Thoughts and prayers are with you!

Yep, I'm now back from honeymoon, and had a great time. Over the 3 weeks we went from Pittsfield MA, Lebanon NH, Lake Winnipesaukee NH, Conway NH, Portland ME, Rockport MA, Hyannis MA and Boston MA. We saw lakes, mountains, coastlines, lighthouses, railways, sunrises, sunsets, quilt shops ;), and some wonderful fall foliage. It was amazing, and we had a wonderful time together :D :D :D

It sounds like you had a wonderful time Sazu and congratulations again. That is a lovely part of the US and the colors this time of year are stunning up there. Fall color change is one of the few things I miss about living up north as we don't see much down here on the coast.

Alikat - so sorry to hear about your accident. I hope that you are resting comfortably at home. Prayers for your swift and complete healing.

Pinwheels it was.... here is SazuBMidlands with my round added. This picture is truer in color than the first one I took.

Nexxus - we have not seen a picture of your center yet. If someone will post one I can do a composite to show them all at once.

Dragonfly, this is gorgeous! Thank you so much for this delightful addition!

You are welcome Sazu - glad you like it. Maybe the next round added will also be geometric - I am thinking flying geese would be a neat addition at some point.

Alikat - I hope you are feeling better. Let me know when it is ok to ship SazuBMidland's top on to you.

The Autumnal one I have is ready to be sent out. I have photos but they're still on the camera.
Dragonfly, are you ready for this to be posted to you?

Yes, Sazu I am ready when you are.

Ok, it's on its way! :-)

Yeah - I will let you know when it arrives.

Oh - and here is Nexxus center that was sent out a while ago.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]447883[/ATTACH]

Thanks for posting that for me Dragonfly

And now here is a picture of all our center together. Sew pretty

Ok this is Lestrong601 border on my center (I hope this posts as I am using my iPad). I LOVE it.

SazuBMidlands, I will be shipping the next top to you on Monday. It is the purple one that is Nexxus831. I love the colors. The pics don't do it justice. Have fun with it. Now onto another RR.

Wow - I love how that turned out.

Sazu - I received Lestrong's top (Autumnal) today. I will post a picture later this evening when I find the camera.
