Thanks, the 1st. ones I made had lav. corner stones, but they didn't come out the right size, so started over and decided on green, don't know which I like better but doesn't really matter I'm sure it will be beautiful when its done

I love the picture/example of a quilt made through a row robin that's on Page 2 of this swap. The sashing really sets off the rows.

Do you think that I could request that my rows NOT be sewn to each next row? Then when I got my rows back, I could put sashing between the rows myself.

OR--could I possibly send eleven 2-inch x 60 1/2 inch horizontal sashing strips out with my first row? After I make my first row, I would sew on the first sashing. Then I'd mail it to the next person along with 11 other sashing strips. That person would make the 2nd row, sew it onto my sashing, and then attach the next sashing, etc.

It's actually a little easier to sew a row of blocks onto a horizontal sashing than it is to align the seams of the 10 blocks with the seams of the first 10 blocks.

Is this asking too much? If so, then would it be okay to request that my rows not be attached to each other?

If it's decided that this is all too much trouble, then I'm perfectly fine with the rules as they stand. :-D I just thought I'd ask......

Lets see what the others say, maybe just send them not sewn together,just in rows would be the easy way. What are every ones opinion?you would have to clearly mark you rs so we knew

I think it's a good idea. Maybe everyone would want to do the same thing

I think it's a good idea too. I like the idea of adding sashings.

Thanks Janecat. My sisters and I wanted the sashing between each row reasoning that the rows then wouldn't clash with each other. We included the 2.5-inch sashing with the quilt and whoever made the row also sewed on the sashing. It was very little extra work. I would send the 11 strips with my Row Robin along with the label for all participants to sign. Belles

The idea of sashing was rolling around in my head too. I will include it with my rows too. GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE. If you don't include it we will assume that you don;t want sashing?
