Round Robin Finish

I participated in a round robin last year with some quilting friends and we had so much fun. While we were living through several covid lockdowns, we  occasionally met outdoors to exchange our projects and have a socially distanced visit. 
Round Robin Bags
In the winter, those visits were brief, and in fact I even missed one meeting due to a snowstorm! You can see the bags ready to exchange and on this day there was only a light dusting of snow.


Round Robin Start


This was my starting package: a 9 patch block made from leftover scraps, some acid green prints, and some black on white prints.



Here is the machine quilting in process. It is very simply quilted with mostly straight lines. This little tiny 1/4" flange is so cute.


On each outside border I free motion machine quilted "Quilt Diva". It's far from perfect but I love it!


Finished size is 17" square


This is the perfect finish in anticipation of International Quilting Day tomorrow. I look forward to celebrating online with friends - you are most welcome join us!

Great Quilt bag project. It's been so long since I did one. Glad your friends kept in touch through the Pandemic. Hoping to stitch a bit tomorrow. I gotta watch some Baseball too. Today is my Hit the Pedal day. Quilt Show stuff to finish up for next week.

I love that colour green. Those fussy cut hexies are so cute. We celebrated IQD with a meeting of 17 ladies and sewing in the park.
