    I did not send extra fabric with mine. It is supposed to be easy for all of you. Red and white...smallish prints preferably and red on red or white on white or red on white or white on red. Have fun with it and don't stress out. I am excited to see what all you come up with. Like Linda said, even a plain border once in a while will be fine. With the HST's I used the options for borders should be easy; bear's paw, sawtooth mountains; etc. Whatever you do, don't stress over it and if you need to put cornerstones in the corners that is fine, too. I know that it will be warm and filled with love and that is what I want. Mailing off to you tomorrow Linda and I will PM the tracking #.

    oh CRUD I had better get off this thing and get sewing! lol I have two round robins sitting here I put off because I was working on other things oh heck where are my speedy shoes?

    I think that new block there is SO much better than the first attempt. I get points or should I say non points all the itme and it bugs the heck out of me. We all our own worst critics. I think I have some of that dot fabric that is in your quilt will check but it might be a 1/4 enough to work a bit into it. it looks so very familiar!
    well off to find my shoes! oh speedy shoes where are you??? listening.. think they are hiding. wish me luck!

    Teresa my package to you is taped and on its way out of the house to be taken to the post office when it opens I am sending PRIORITY which I hope all of you do, seems to be one of the safer ways to send things these days. Let me know please when you receive it!

    and hey who called us NUTS? I resemble that statement lady. Sheesh! I am going to work on another round robin top I have here for Dragonflynana's swap. It scares me! its red and white but she is going to put it in a SHOW next summer as a group item so everyone is really going to be working hard to be perfect. ME? perfect? gulp big time. shaking knees .. I have had the package here for three days.. too scared to open it. dun dun dun... ok fine I will open it. later.. much later.. ok maybe tomorrow...

    Just about done with my trial and error border quilt. Did the braid yesterday, now add another narrow border and then a round of the floral it started with. Then I just have to quilt it. Started with a fractured center block and then each border is separated by the solid strip. It's summer bright, think it reminds me of pop cycles.
