My round robin returns!

Woo hoo!!! On Monday, I received my completed Once 'Round the Country round robin top from Kris. She wasn't able to post pictures, so I didn't know how it would look until I opened the box. Very exciting!!!


So cool!!! I absolutely love the way she echoed elements from previous rounds and really finished it off. This top just looks so modern and fresh to me.

Now I just need a quilting plan. I've got a few ideas floating around in my head, but they'll have to wait until the new year. I really think that quilting has the potential to really bring this design to life. I'm looking forward to the challenge!

Many, many thanks to all of the amazing women who worked on this quilt (and who trusted me to work on theirs!): Zonnah, Adrienne, Anne, and Kris. This round robin has been an amazing experience. You all inspire me.

Yay! Kris really did a spectacular job, as usual, pulling together everything. I can't wait to see how you finish it.

I'm so happy you like it! It's great to see it all laid out too. I wasn't able to lay the whole thing out after I finished, so it's great to see what it looks like! :)

Great job, I love round robins but you've got to be a brave soul to join one. Yours looks great!

Wow, what a quilt and how wonderfully executed. I bet the quilting will really make it come to life.
