This is a common activity in many quilt guilds. A round robin (in quilting terms) is where each person makes a centre block. This block is put in a bag or container, maybe with extra fabric, perhaps with a notebook, and the bag is passed onto another quilter in the group. They are given instructions as to what kind of border (or round) they are to add on to the quilt. Sometimes the next person will make a border for each side, or one side or two sides of the block. It’s then passed on to another quilter and it continues on … when the quilt centre and all the borders are completed, it is returned to the original maker of the centre block.
For SAHRR, there is no passing of your project to other people -- you do all your own sewing. Each week, there will be a theme for the round, and you choose how to interpret and implement that theme.

ReplyDeleteI, too am looking forward to this. Can someone explain what it means to “link up”? I just want to make sure….
