Current Activities
ROUND ROBIN 2023 Lona Boswell
The purpose/goal of this activity is two-fold: have fun and hopefully learn a new technique or idea you might want to use on a future quilt border. When you sign up, you will draw a tile (1-12) to see which technique to use. Start with any size block, rectangle or panel. You don’t have to go around all four sides—–your choice. Each time you complete your task, you’ll draw for another one. You will be the only one working on your piece! We will start in March and end in November. If you complete 5 techniques, you will be eligible for the drawing of a quilt related item. You will NOT repeat the same technique.
1. Flying geese
2. Half square triangles
3. Four patch (checkerboard)
4. Small dogtooth or beads
5. Stripe
6. Paper piece
7. Accordion pleats
8. Diamonds
9. Off-set
10. Braid
11. Piano keys
12. Your choice
