I'm in a Yahoo group called SCQuilters (Southern Cross Quilters)
where people who like to quilt and have a connection to Australia and NZ
get together to chat, sew, meet up and swap.
This year I've been working on a Round Robin with a few of these SCQuilters.
It's amazing how Round Robin's work out. You know, you make a centre block and think you know what will come home to you at the end but it doesn't work that way.
I sent out a wonky little house in gingery colours and expected back more houses,
a lot of country colours and some whacky novelty fabrics.
Instead I received this gorgeous flimsy, filled with delicate flowers, subtle colours with a zinger of firey orange, traditional piecing and more than a few tree fabrics to symbolise the Australian bush.
I love my new quilt nearly as much as I love my SCQuilty friends.

Wow - wow - can I send a block? LOL! That is so amazing, I love the colors, especially the zingers around the house - gorgeous!
What a lovely surprise! Maybe I should join one of those round robins some time. :)
Looking forward to seeing your beautiful flimsy.
O Sue - I LOVE it too! It is amazing how interacting with others creates something entirely different than what you perceived. Those "fresh-set of eyes" certainly did magical work-congrats!
Fantastic when you can enjoy friends and top it off with some quilting.
