Round Robin Baby Quilts

My church quilt group makes baby quilts for the newborns of members. When the number of ready quilts is low we start a round robin. Each person selects several fabrics from our donated stash. The first person makes a square and passes it on to the next. (The square I made appeared here) I was totally excited about adding to the first but the second just didn't thrill me.
Sue started with these 9 fussy cut framed sea creatures. I seamed them together and added the zigzag border. The easy funky zigzag comes from Collaborative Quilting by Moran and Marston.

I was given the rail fence center. I added the pinwheels and fussy cut teddy bears. Clink on the picture for a close up and try to figure out what turned me off. Maybe its a generational thing.

"Cowboys", Round Robin Baby Quilts

My church group makes baby blankets for members' newborns. We were given 3 boxes of fabric of assorted prints, most being "girly". As a grandmother of 2 boys, I chose this assortment of cowboy prints and made four blocks to pass on for the next additions. I in turn will receive a focus block/s and leftover fabric to continue in the round robin.

Here I am with the teddy bear I made last time which was added on to by others. Round robins are a fun challenge.
