Spring Fling Roundrobin II

This is the quilt I received today from the Spring Fling Roundrobin II. It is wonderful and I am sew proud to receive it. It is made with my favorite -- Civil War fabrics in lovely shades of pink/brown.

The center was made by Carol of Vermont; the 1st border by Susan of Arizona, 2nd border by Julia of Idaho, and the handquilting and binding by Alicia of Washington. THANK YOU LADIES!

Spring Fling Round Robin

I have been participating in the Spring Fling Round Robin that Margaret is hosting. It has really been fun. We each were paired up with 3 other partners. We each made a center and then the center traveled on and had two borders added. The fourth person had the responsibility to quilt, bind and put the label on the quilt. Then the fourth person sent the finished quilt on to some lucky person.

I've been trying all weekend to upload a picture but Blogger and I are having "issues"! I think it could be because I'm on "dial-up". Sometimes I can upload pictures and sometimes I can't -- go figure. Anyway, you can go to the link above "Spring Fling Round Robin" and go to the post "Leaving Texas" to see the quilt I finished!

A big thank you to Margaret who is our hostess. She does a great job!!!!!!

Spring Fling Round Robin

Margaret is coordinating the Spring Fling Round Robin. We are to send an 8-inch center and we will get back a completely finished quilt -- approximately 20 inches in size.

This is my center. It doesn't look too much like a spring basket but the picture is not real good. I should get my completed project back the latter part of June. I'll be posting the rounds as I get them so be sure to "stay tuned."

Here is the website (I would put a link in but I don't know how! If you do, tell me!)

Roundrobin Reveal

After a long year of working on roundrobins, we reveal the final products this weekend. My center was an Uncle Sam that was from a previous 'brown box' American swap that I did with the guild. It just so happens that my Wacky Friend Rhonda made the block. I just loved it and since I love the good ole red/white/blue, I just had to use Uncle Sam for the center. It turned out GREAT. I just love all the rounds that the girls put on it. My Wacky Friend, Molly, did the final round and personalized it with my youngest son's name. My son served in the USAF and now works for the U.S. Government so it was quite appra-pro (can't spell that word) that she make it personal for him.
