Round Robin Quilts

I have several lady friends who like to quilt and, in fact, taught me how. We sometimes participate in round robin quilting--which is when each of us makes a center block and then sends it to one of the other ladies. That person then quilts a border on it, following a rule we all decide on (such as a border made of triangles, or a border using crazy squares). It goes around to each lady and then we send it back to the person who made the center block. Here are some examples:
 

 


Yesenia's Drawing Quilt

When Yesenia was little, she was already a pretty good drawer. Now she's amazing! But, back then, she liked to copy Lisa Frank stuff, so I let her draw a bunch of pictures on fabric with fabric crayons and we put them in a quilt.

Roads and Rivers Baby Quilt

I made this for my nephew, Caleb, Mary's 3rd son. It's an interactive quilt, designed to be thrown on the floor and played with using Hotwheel cars.
