Round Robin Row Quilt

The project of my quilt group, for 2023, is a "Round Robin Row Quilt."  We each make one row and put it in a box with instructions, and maybe some fabrics to go with.  Then it gets passed to several other quilters, in this case, eight others.  Our rows are 36" long.  Each month it went to someone else, then we had a big reveal at our August meeting.  I photographed each quilt that I received, with whatever number of rows it had at the time.  I am going to share them. 

This is the row I put in my box.  It is just springy fabrics.  My blocks are 6" X 6" square.  It has a 50's feel.

This is the first one I got to work on.  The big flowers are Monicas.  I added the bird house row.

The second one, I got to work on, was Annita's.  Her's is the one I posted about last spring.  It is in "rainbow order", so I made the third row down, with alternating shoo fly and churn dash blocks in green and yellow.

#3 was Jan's.  I added the nine-patch row at the bottom.  I got it done the second night I had it.  So, I was feeling fairly accomplished.  I also brought home Marsha's.  She had fallen and REALLY hurt herself, so she could not do any sewing.  She dropped out of the project, but we wanted to finish her quilt top for her, so I took it and added my row in April prior to our monthly meeting.

#4 Marsha's was about neighborhoods.  I added the top row, in this photo.  I put a yellow sun and a yellow tree to help balance the yellow that was in the lower row.

#5 was Tessa's.  I did the liberated churn-dash blocks at the top.  I was bad and used that lovely floral for the background.  Her instructions said to use the white, but no one was using that lovely floral, so . . . I did.

#6 was Lizzy's.  Her's was a farm theme, so I added the chicks on the bottom row.  I embroidered their little legs on.

#7 was Donna's, called "Who Let the Dogs Out?"  I liked what everyone had done before me, and I wanted to be different, so I made little dog houses with dogs in them.  This doggy neighborhood has lots of trees.

#8 was Judy's and it had trees.  I used the same fabrics as that second row from the bottom, so I balanced it off by making the row pictured at the top.  The trees are pale and have sunflowers on them, and the background is the blue and green tree fabric.

This is what my quilt top looked like, when I got it back in August.  I realized the Donna did not get to do a row on my quilt, so I called her up.  Because the top was long and narrow, she agreed to make me four corner blocks for the borders.  We are supposed to have our quilts done, for sharing/showing off at our meeting later this month.  I only started working on mine on September 28, but I have got it finished.  I need to photograph it, then I will post it on this blog of mine.  Thanks for reading my blog.
