The Sewful Sisters' Round Robin Reveal

          Tonight my friendship group, The Sewful Sisters, met. Six of our members have been working on Round Robin quilts. Each person made the center block for her own quilt. Every few weeks or so, the quilts were exchanged. The receiving member added a border around the original block. This continued for five rounds, all without the members seeing the progress their own quilt. This evening, everyone finally got to see all the finished works.

          This is Wynona and her apple-themed quilt. She was very pleased with the beautiful colors and the apple blossom applique on the cream-colored border. Lovely fabric choices!

 

          Andrea's Asian-themed quilt was exquisite! She was very happy with all the intricate piecing in the borders. That's Andrea on the right.

 

          Lois was thrilled with her quilt, which had a floral bouquet in the middle, then rust, creme, and green borders. Notice how well is matches Lois's sofa. For some reason, Lois didn't pose with her own quilt and had a lovely helper do that for her.

 

 

          This is Marty's quilt. The center is a scene that she purchased at the annual quilt show in Sisters, Oregon. It features a river, mountains, and all sorts of wildlife. Awesome quilt!

  

 

           Janice was excited to see how Andrea had appliqued the light-colored border of her quilt. She also liked the fabrics and colors that had been added.

 

 

          Dottie had to view the revealing of her quilt long distance since she was away visiting relatives in the Midwest. Her quilt featured an antique automobile and bushels of apples. The ladies had a great time adding apples, barn doors, checkerboards, and baskets as borders.

 

 

          Two of our members also brought other projects to share. Donna made this adorable baby quilt to donate to our guild's Loving Hands philanthropic group, which gives quilts to babies in our local hospitals. Donna said that the fabric number panels were originally designed to be made into a book, but she ingeniously fashioned them into a quilt.

 

 

          She put the number "10" on the back of the quilt. Sweet!

 

 

          Janice participates in an online quilt exchange. This is the beauty that she will be shipping off to its new home in Arizona. The nine-patch piecing in the background is perfect. We couldn't find one corner that didn't match up. Janice also has a quilt coming her way, too. She has no idea what it will look like. We can't wait to see!
