Modern Round Robin Finish: Fox Quilt

6/25/2014

My grass border & butterfly corner blocks have been added to the Fox Quilt, and now it is time to pass him along to the next quilter in my modern quilt round robin. For more information on this guy, please see this post.

I designed the paper-piece pattern for the butterflies, and went through several versions before I found a simple butterfly that I felt was just right.

I can't wait to see what comes my way from the next rotation of the round robin group!

Today I'm linking up with WIP Wednesday.

Great job with the second border! I'm impressed with your butterflies - I wouldn't know where to begin with drafting a custom paper piecing pattern!

It's really not hard to draft simple things using the Electronic Quilt design program. I think that EQ7 is the most current version of the program.

I have never heard of a modern quilt robin! What have I been missing out on!?! Do you just pass keep sending a quilt on to the next person? And then you get another quilt?

Clare -
That's pretty much how it works! There is a group of 6 of us. We each made our own center "medallion" and then sent it on to the next person in the group. Each additional person adds 1 border until it gets back to the original person. We have 2 months to add our border, so this is a year-long project. I talk more about it in the post that I link to in the first section above. So far it's been lots of fun.

I'm so glad you posted the finished top -- it's lovely. I definitely need to replicate that border on one of my quilts.
