Wow. I love the addition of more fall colors. I'm so excited.

Hi everyone here is my addition to Alikat's center.

Melinda that is beautiful. I have never seen a border/round in a pattern like that - very cool

It's arrived!! And its gorgeous! Not sure what to add yet, but will think about it.

Nexxus- Really like the border you added to Alikat's center. It adds a great dimension to it.

Thank you but can't take credit for it all. My mother and I designed it on Thanksgiving. Honestly I didn't think it would work but my mother was right (as usual). It also gives it some uniqueness too.

Hey, everyone. Sorry I have been MIA. it has been a rough two months for me. Ended up with a total of three surgeries after my car accident. Just got out last time on Monday. That being said, I am finished with my round and am asking mom to help me mail it tomorrow. I am committed to this round robin, and barring any unforseen problems, should not require any further procedures. ( so my dr. Says!) Here is the picture of the completed round....

Just caught up with the postings. Love everyone's work. Melinda....thank you ( and mom) for that beautiful round!
Need to ask if someone will send me my "mailing to" address. I have not been able to find it!!!

Alikat - I sent you a PM with her address - you mail to Nexxus631

I am so sorry that you have had so much trouble since your accident. Prayers that you continue to heal completely under your Dr's care.

Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Your health comes first.

Oh and...Wow! I love your addition to my center. Those colors are great and they add a lovely POP that my friend is going to love. Thank you

Thank you, Paula. It did not take much time to finish. I had it planned and cut before my last sx. I am moving slowly, but can ready tell a difference. Less pain this time....Did Melinda tell you I pulled it from a book that she also has....coincidence. I love what you helped her design for mine. It is very striking around my center!

Sarah, just updating....yours is here with me. Already looking for my fabrics and checking out patterns....

Alikat .... Paula isn't my mom hehehehe Lestrong601 is although Paula would be a good mom I don't think she is quite old enough hehehehe

Ooops! Sorry!!!! I know that.....no excuses, just asking for forgiveness for my error! Hehehe.....

Ok I guess I will forgive you since you are a fellow quilter. You are especially a quilter who I desire to be just as good as.

Ha Ha - Melinda's mom! I could never take Lestrong's place but would love to have her as my mom too.
What book do you two have that I should be looking at? You both create such unique rounds.

Here's a picture...
second is another from which I draw inspiration.

Great - Thank you. I may have to get these for my library.

Hi there Dragonfly. Some times it wish I had more kids (hahahahahah). I've adopted enough of the kids friends. Most of my work is just in my head. If I see something I like I try to come up with a way to put it together. Takes lots of paper a calculations but it works. God blessed me with an artistic ability to do this and I run with it. I love doing it.

I know what you mean about "adopted" kids through you kids Lestrong. I have a funny about one of those kids.
On my wedding day - just after we entered the reception one of my "adopted" kids called out "Hey Moms" and when I turned around I was very surprised to see him (He had traveled from Michigan to Virginia as a surprise) and squeeled Rah Rah! When I went to give him a hug he picked me up and swirled me around.
You should have seen the look on my DH face when he looked back to see a very large man swinging his new bride around like little kids! :shock:
You see, my DH had never met him and had no idea what was going on - what a surprise and joy it was for me to have him there. I have know him since he and my son were very little. Once the introductions were made all was well and we laugh about it still - poor new hubby thought some man was trying to steal his bride.:D

I received your center today Paula. It is so very gorgeous. They pictures don't do it justice. Need to marinate on it now.

Melinda - I think you meant this comment for the 2013-2014 RR thread - if you are talking about the dragonfly center one.

No I received your purple quilt center. All the colors are soooo gorgeous.

Oh goodness - where is my mind? Alikat does ship to you - LOL

Glad you like the top - Alikat did a great job on her round - even added a new color, Orange. My friend is going to love it.

Thought you might like to see where we are now that all the Round 1 additions have been made. They are all so pretty.

I hope you ladies are enjoying Christmas with those you care about. DH and I had a quiet day to ourselves so I spend a good deal of time in my sewing room. Below is what I created today....my "Acorn" round for Lestrong's fall center.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]453209[/ATTACH]

Paula...that is nice. I am recovering from strep throat. Missed my family gathering on Sunday....boohoo!!! Getting on the tail end of the infection now, so enjoyed watching my kiddos open and enjoy their presents this morning. I love the acorns you added! Merry Christmas everyone.

Thanks Alikat. You poor thing - You did not need strep with all the other healing you have to do.
I hope you feel better soon

Hope all had a good holiday. Quiet here. I am amazed again at how talented everyone is. I love the round you did. Thank you.

It has bee "all quiet" since Christmas....how is everyone doing?

I am waiting for Melinda's top to head my way.

Working on design issues with my addition to SazuB's top....new to me and tougher than it looks. I have recieved Lestrong's center you sent to me ( just realized I didn't already update you!) It is gorgeous. I have already picked out potential fabrics, but haven't made a desicion on design yet. Ya'll (I am from Texas!!!) are all so talented, so I am trying to up my ante and really challenge myself with new things. Since I usually do simple patterns or paper piecing, I am realizing some areas I need to work on. That is why I am stretching myself with some of my design choices.

This is the right place to do just that Alikat. While it may not seem like it to you, I know that each of us does the same with every top we receive.

I hope you are feeling better these days.

Hello ladies, I have been off the grid for awhile. Very busy holiday and family issues taken care of so now I am back to the sewing room. Gotten a lot done this week. I have Alikats top and will be figuring out what to do with it so that I can send it on. I like what you all have done with my center. Daughter is headed to my house tonight to sew. See how much we get done. Haha. Ya all have a great day.

Dragonfly you did say it was a purple quilt right? I hope you like it.

Yes, she loves purple and you round is great. I love those pinwheels. TY

SazuBMidlands I will be mailing Alikat's top out to you before the weekend is up.

Alikat I hope you enjoy the round I put on your top.

Lestrong - that looks like just the right touch to me. :thumbup:

Wow! That's lovely Lestrong! I'll have to think very carefully about what to add to this one.
I'll PM you with my details - I changed my name after getting married a few months ago.

Hi All, Just to report that Alikat's top arrived with me yesterday. Also I shipped the one I had (Nexxus?) out on Friday, so is en route to DragonflyNana :-)
