Lisa has now added Round 4 to both of her pieces - and they are both great.

R1, R2, R3 & R 4 : Marianne

Hi, I'm Marianne.

Thanks for allowing me to join in. I was searching for a round robin and this is so different I had to try it.

I've gone off on a different route. Instead of piecing my blocks I am using rubber stamps, inks, paint and sharpies. I will be doing more piecing with step 5.

#1 is the center block with the numbers and the word, both done with rubber stamps

#2 is to the left of center- red purple and blue with stamped stitches.

#3 top has three green stamped patches on what was once a cream swirl print. I darkened it with ink to a golden color

#4 to the right is a basket weave print over colored with purple ink. The dark line is a little over 1/4 inch from the edge so it will still be visible when an if something is added to that side.

Hopefully when I add step #5 I'll be able to get a better photo. The colors are off a bit.

R4 & R5: Gene

Following Cherie's lead to leave some room for embellishment (and because I was LATE doing this round) I have added blank strips to each of my Stay At Home Robins.

And then for Round Five I have added more "free pieced" sections to this one.

While using a wonky cut piece from a block of half-square triangles on the left and a plain piece with an appliqued half-square triangle block on it for the top right. .

Don't forget that Round Five is already posted.

R4: Annette

Here's the latest addition from Annette - she's blogged about it over here.

R4: Cherie

Easy, peasy...just a plain strip this time but this leaves room for some appliqued circles or something later :)

R4: Narelle

Finally found or made the time today to add round 4 to my blocks. I'm adding a little bit of red to this one and might just applique a couple of those hearts to the bottom right corner.

Looking forward to November's addition ... wonder where it will go.

R4: Amo

Amo has done her round 4 now, though according to her blog, she's not entirely happy with it. Me, I like it!

R4: Julie

Here's the lastest addition from Julie, about which she says: "Here's the next part of my RR. I decided to continue with the orange and blue theme and used a slightly curved line to join the pieces in this new strip to balance the curved piecing elsewhere. " I do love the colours in this one!

R1, R2, R3 & R4: Winter Star

A late arrival to the round robin - Winter Star is going to play along. Here's her starting square above, followed by her round 2 addition:




then round three:



And finally (for the moment) round 4.




Getting closer to round 5, ladies (& gent) - is everyone ready?

R4: Benta

In addition to adding a fourth round to her red, white and black piece, Benta has started two more robins - one in pink fabrics and one in blue. Wonder in what direction all these will go?

R4: Betsy

R4: Toni

I got my section done early this month - I have many other BOM projects I need to "catch" up on :)   I kept it simple again knowing I need applique/embroidery areas.

R4: Cheryll

R4: Sarah

And another early bird... I love Sarah's circles - they remind me a bit of something - oh yeah, my own circles in round 3, which I pinched from Kathy's round 2...

R4: Vero

I really like how this piece is coming along - just shows what you can do with some special fabrics...

R4: Janet

Janet wins the October race (I don't count, though this month I didn't work in advance, even though I could have done) - here's her block and where she's blogged about it.

Another Robin: Kate

At the start of this project, I was toying with the idea of doing two robins in parallel but was so busy the idea kinda never went anywhere. However, this afternoon, after I finished off something else I was working on, I had a little more sewing time and decided to go ahead and start a second robin. I wanted to do something very different from the black and batik one, so I chose to work with my Japanese taupe fabrics. I started with a 6" variable star, and went on to:



a large rose, unpieced, for the second round, followed by:




A piano key type piece, separated from the other blocks by a one inch strip for the third round. For the current, fourth round, I decided to do another unpieced piece, again a larger rose, this time with a green background:



It's a lot straighter than it looks in this photo!

R4: Kate

So, today I had some more sewing time (yeah!) and did Round 4 of my Robin - I like the piece I've added, but on looking at it again, I think I'd prefer it on the right hand side, so I might take it off and sew it on the other side!

edited to say, I've moved it to the other side - don't you think it looks better? I do! Even unironed...
