Tea for one quilt

When my Round Robin came back, it was gorgeous. My partners had done a wonderful job creating beautiful borders and I am very happy with the results.
Except for my part. The white on the strippy triangles was simply too white for the rest of the quilt, and no one had added any white during the RR.
When looking at it with Billa, she immediately noticed that the white stood out. I thought for a minute, then decided tea-dying was worth a try.
I'm very pleased with the results. The white is softened just enough. Now to finish up with the quilting and binding. This will be a gift for someone who can really use a little extra warmth at the moment.

Sewed my butt off this weekend...

... but can't show anything yet.
I do love wonky stars and sewing letters to make fabric words.
In other words, it's FAB!
Sorry for the bad focus. I'm too lazy to retake the pics.

Round Robin quilt

While I may be familiar with quilts and how they were traditionally made, I'm relatively new at quilt guilds and how group quilting projects function.
It was with trepidation that I signed up for the latest Round Robin project at the Black Forest Guild. I really hate the idea of screwing up someone else's quilt.
At least I chose to do Round Robin in the beginners group, and my group looks like it will be fun. There are, however, just three of us, so if any of you BFQ members reading this wants to join us, there's still time. You should go ahead and follow the rules in the instructions. Contact me if you want to join our group, so I can tell the RR program manager.
The block I've chosen for my center is Bonnie Hunter's Roll Roll Cotton Boll block, including the string corners.
What do you think? Kinda neat, huh? I think there are colors and variety enough to let my group partners do pretty much as they like. Do I need to add my own border around the edge before I send it off?
Know any good links to RR quilts? I'd like to get a sense of things I can do to my partners' quilts that will really make them pop.
