Ocean Blue Round Robin


­­­­­­­­­Six months ago I sent out an empty block to the women in my Ocean Blue Round Robin. Each month the block went to a different home and the woman there worked on the block adding some stitching. My little block traveled from the United States all the way to Australia and New Zealand, it even spent time in Paris! Last week finally the block was returned to me and this is the result. This was my first round robin and I must say I really enjoyed it. I couldn’t wait for a new block to arrive each month to see the stitching on it and now I looking forward to another new round robin to be starting up soon.

what a fab. idea!!! how fun is that??? so this is YOURS to keep? how big of a piece of fabric is it....or is it already an item and this was the finishing touches? will you just frame the fabric?....that would be nice too.

Hi Kay, Violet here from the ocean blue group.
Wow, love the finished product, it looks gorgeous!!! And I must say I felt honoured to work on your block. It is also my first RR and still waiting for my block to come home.
