Round 1: 18" x 24"
Round 2: 4"
Round 3: 3"
Round 4: 3"
Round 5: 6"
Round 6: 8" making the finished quilts approximately 64" x 70".
Dianne's and the 12 finished quilts are shown under Guild Activities/Round Robin Challenge tab on the guild's website. The fabrics and instructions are listed after the quilt pictures. Susie Jackson, Ellen Cox, and Debbie Davis won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd viewers' choice awards. All 13 quilts were amazingly creative and different. The participants agreed that designing these pieces really caused them to stretch and grow.
Here is my quilt pictured after quilting; next is with the black binding.

What a clever round robin. What types of fabric were given to you--solid, print? Did you know the colors you would be getting ahead of time? I take it that when you were given a measurement for each round that your addition had to be that wide? I love what you did. The movement in your quilt is fabulous. It is always nice to have a "helper" when you work; I have one at my house too.
Love your quilt Martha, especially the way you put the fabrics to use. Great job!
Thanks for your comments, Beth and Debbie. BTW, Debbie's quilt won 3rd place--see it on the PBQ website.
Beth, the fabrics and sizes are published below the 13 quilts. We did not know what was coming in fabric or size of round until we got them. See our website www.pinebeltquilters.com under the Guild Activities/Round Robin tab. So this could also be called a Mystery Quilt, too.
mommie's little quilting cat. Lots of color and movement. I did one round robin and it was enough. This one is a better idea as you're working on your own piece at least.

Working on our own--that's why I call it a "selfish round robin." Be sure to see all the other finished ones on our guild's site.
That was fun! Thanks for sharing yours and those of the other members,it's interesting to see what everyone did. I like the idea of a "Selfish" Round Robin!
Thanks, Ruth,
Many of these people had never designed their own quilts, so it was rewarding to see the success of their original ideas.
What a talented group of quilters! The challenge was very successful and I'm glad the members had the temerity to design their own work. The fabrics that were chosen were lovely! They are all so different even though they all started with a center block.
Good to hear from you, Jeanne! Yes, a fun and successful challenge.
Loved seeing these Martha. Of the ones on the guilds site I was most taken by the last one shown in that smashing vintage Aqua color. Sorry we couldn't stop in Hattiesburg on our way through . We had a window between the ice and snow storms to make it home.
Looking at your quilt again,, love it, your kitty, just matches, the black areas, of course! Great idea.
