Round robin round up!

Yesterday we had our first Monday Modern meeting of the year and those of us who had participated in the round robin received our completed minis back from the person who had done the quilting and binding.

I had Louise's quilt for the final round. I am not a confident quilter so I aimed for 'tidy' rather than anything more ambitious. Louise's was one of the larger minis at approximately 34" square, so quite a nice size for a baby quilt or pram quilt. With this in mind, I thought I would avoid quilting it so that it became stiff as a board. Basically I did some simple echo quilting, then found a binding fabric that I was particularly pleased with.


My centre block was worked on by Robyn then Mel and quilted by Carolyn. I'm so thrilled with it - I can't stop looking at it!  A huge thank you to Laurina who organised the round robin and kept us on track :-)

  1. Your mini is fabulous! There is so much to look at... circles, triangles, bunny rabbits! It is so beautifully balanced that you would never know it was made by a range of people! Lovely!

  2. I love those quilted diamonds you did in the border. Now your mini is just beautiful, I think I would be looking at it and touching it all day if it were mine. Love all the colours used - they really make your centre block pop.

  3. Two gorgeous minis. I love the quilting you did on Louise's mini-a great balance that brought out the piecing. Your mini is great and I think the contributors have done a fantastic job with their additions and the quilting is superb. I would look at it all day as well.
