Round Robin quiltlet, up close

I just love how my little quiltlet turned out!  It was really fun working on these this past year.  Forcing us to work outside our comfort zone, in either colors or techniques or styles.  And yet, how they all came together.  Here are better details on mine.

this is my block that started it. I chose "JOY" as my theme (it was my 'word' for the year) and I wanted it done in aquas and lime green.  This is a 4 1/2" unfinished block.

Mary added a reverse appliqued JOY

Cheryl added the fence with a few birds sitting on it...

Lisa added the musical note..saying the one thing that kept running through her head when she got my box was, "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart..." which led her to do the note. The birds were added later by Linda. 

Candy added the next heart with embroidery

Linda added the cute little 3D birds and also the ones on the musical note 

and don't you think this little guy is just.the cutest?  It looks like he tripped and fell..I love it!

Mishelle added the little beads here and there and the borders and then Jeanne quilted it and did the binding.

Thanks Bias Buddies for a job well done!  

It's here! My RR is done!

What a great thing to come home to! It's just absolutely beautiful! I belong to the Round Robin Quilters--a group of 15 who have been working on a Round Robin for the past 15 months and we are done! It's just a small wallhanging (quiltlet) and just so fun to do. What made this Round Robin one of the best that I have been in is that everyone did such a fantastic job of sewing, choosing fabrics, being creative and being on time! We all started with a 4" x 4" block (mine was an appliqued snowflake)that kind of set the theme of what we would like in our quilt. Then each month as we passed the quiltlet on, we had a prescribed size block or instructions that we were to do. It was small enough to manage without feeling like a burden. And it allowed us time to really put thought into what we were doing. I want to say right now to the Round Robin quilters---THANK YOU for doing such an awesome job on my quiltlet! I will say this is the best RR that I've ever participated in! And to manage it for 15 months says a lot.

Look at this tree! It's amazing and SO well done! I'm not sure which person did it, but she did an excellent job. Well..actually, they all did.

Again--thank you to the Round Robin group and I look forward to participating with you again. Check out the sidebar for the Round Robin ring to see the rest of the quilts.
