Our next quilt. Some ideas.


We could use 4" squares and make 9-patch quilts; they would be about 45 x 59 inches, sort of kid-size. It would be 13 squares wide and 17 squares long. The "x" spots could be dark prints and the "o" spots could be light prints. The squares with no marks (borders and sashing) could be ???? muslin, black, a solid? We could each make twelve 9-patches, then trade six...like we did with Natalie's baby quilts. I'm blanking on colors or even color ideas. What do you think?

Oh. Maybe you should check my math and logic.

Round Robin Quilts -- Finally!






Pam and I finally finished our round robin quilts. I think we started these 3/4 years ago with Pam's friend Margo. After two rounds, Margo decided her's was big enough and that left me and Pam to continue trading just our two quilt tops back and forth for another two rounds. Here are the finished products--back and front--Pam quilted (and finished) mine (bottom) and I quilted (and finished) her's (top).
