round/row robins
#43
Just a couple of thoughts....
1) If there are numerous Canadian members interested, would it be cheaper (postage wise) for them to have their own robin? I don't want this to sound like I am excluding anyone...please, no offense meant, just thinking of the $$$ aspect.
2) When I last did a row robin, the rules stated only the width of the row, nothing else. (We had 6 members in our group). We each made a row, and enclosed some of our favorite fabric that we had used in our row, and a brief note about why we chose that particular theme (block, colors, etc.). Each person could add a piece of fabric to be used and added to the note. When we got our tops back, we had 6 coordinated rows along with their "story".
Whatever is decided, robins are a lot of fun to participate in. Thank you to QuilterMomma and Mariposa for helping to get this started. Not sure if I will join yet, but will watch this thread closely.

I'm interested also. I did a row robin before and everyone came through so it was a good experience. I'm also willing to mail either way. If there are some who only will join if they can mail individually I'd be willing to join that group so everyone who wants to participate can. Would it be too confusing to have groups doing it different ways?

I will be watching to see how you organize this. I participated in a round Robin that I enjoyed very much. It ended very successfully. I would consider joining again depending on the organization and rules. They really are so much fun!

looking forward to this row/round robin. I think someone already mentioned instead of doing 5 12" blocks that it could also be just a 60" row instead, if I go with the bookcase idea then I like the thought of this option.
