Tell me I'm crazy

  Kate was reminiscing this morning about the Spring Fling Round Robin projects that Margaret used to host -- and despite the fact that I know there are always some "issues" with round robins, I'm thinking about starting one up for bloggers with a little bit of swapping history the ability to commit.

The best thing about the Spring Fling was that you got back a finished quilt.  I blogged about one of them here, and I'll post photos of the others later this evening.

They would be small quilts -- maybe 20" by 20" at the most, with a center, 3 rounds, and then quilted & bound.  That's 5 people involved in each one.  So -- are you interested?  Are your friends interested? Let me know either by comment or email.

Hmm, sounds fun! I especially like that it would be something small. Translates to doable!

Depending on the timeframes, I'd love to play.

Margaret said...

It was my most favorite swap - I got to invite some of my most favorite and talented quilters!

Count me in. Timeframe is an issue however. I'll be gone from home for 6 weeks in the winter so mail is a problem. But I will have my machine along.

Melinda said...

I have had so much fun doing round robins. I have several special quilts from past rr's. I would be interested.

You of course know that I'm interested :) But letting you know by comment AND email will hopefully make you totally totally sure...

Hey, Julie! I'd love to do a RR with you all... I'd say "I'm in", but that sounds presumptious.
Happy Thanksgiving!
