My Round Robin Blocks

I participated in a Round Robin with the on-line group the Southern Cross Crazies this year. We had to make 6 x 6" crazy blocks and then send them on to the next person on the list of participants. That person chooses a block to embroider and then sends them on to the next person on the list. Eventually you receive your blocks back and they are all beautifully embroidered.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the blocks so I just made up 6 blocks in various colours of silk fabrics and thought I might end up putting them in a sample book.

Unfortunately I have only received 5 of them back. One of the people participating had a few problems and has got behind so I'll have to wait to show everyone the last block another time.

I'll show my base block first and then show how the blocks are improved by the beautiful embroidery.

So I am only waiting on my green block to come back to me. It is a lovely way to see some beautiful embroidery up close and everyone has a different style so there is always something new to discover.
Anyone is allowed to participate in the Round Robins including beginners, in fact it is usually a good way to learn a lot and beginners won't be thought of as beginners for long.

I am concentrating on a new quilt of my own now and so I don't anticipate being part of another Round Robin for the next 12 months or so.
There is something exciting happening in my family next month that could end up being quite time consuming but a very enjoyable distraction! I wonder if anyone can guess what it is!!

Bye for now,
Linda
