Yesterday I passed along the penultimate round robin project to the final maker. You can see all the details in the Round Robin Kickoff post. The project I worked on for Cherese in September was a lovely mix of bright solid-reading batiks paired with black and white and black on black prints. She started her project with a 12" star block below for the center of her quilt. In round four we were supposed to add four-patch or flying geese units to the project. I look forward to sharing what I added.

Sew the rainbow!

Working on this project really makes me want to get back to my Patchwork City blocks. The bright color with black and white is such a great combination!

The round robin with four other SCVQA quilters continues. This month I have Susan's chicken quilt. We're not sharing any sneak peeks so I can't reveal what I've added to her project (this round was "quilters choice"), but this is the chicken panel she started with.

Susan would like a rectangular lap quilt, and asked that nothing be wonky. She provided all the fabric for the round robin, a huge selection of chicken prints (including feathers and chicken wire) as well as a variety of teal blenders. So many options!

Susan is doing her own version of a chicken quilt at home, following the same guidelines as our group round robin, but sewing each round herself. You can view the current state of her at-home version on her blog, QuiltFabrication. (P.S. I love theses watermelon wedges she made recently!)

See the project I worked on in round 2 and my starting block.

Last month I passed my starting block onto Suzanne to kick off our round robin. There are five of us from my guild, Santa Clara Valley Quilt Association, participating in this round robin. We are passing the projects each month at the guild meeting.

In the first pass, I received Callista's project. She chose earth and jewel tones, heavy on rusty orange to maroon. She included many fabrics to choose from and she wants a lap/couch quilt that feels "warm, boho, a mix of fabrics, prints, and scale." During my sewing slump I had her center block up on my design wall. There are so many possibilities! As a group we chose two random prompts to chose from for each round. In round two my options are to include a pinwheel block or something from nature.

I won't be able to show you what I'm adding to her block until the round robin concludes in late October when we reveal the finished quilt tops to their owners. I think I know what I'm going to add to Callista's block, but I'd love to hear what you would do!
