I received Bev's (nadine2007) block today and I just love the colors and the design. I think I will sit on it for a couple of days while I try to decide what my round should be.

Ann, Wouldn't it be better to put it up on a design wall? You might not be able to see it very well if your sitting on it. :) LOL

Groups are formed, usually of 4 or 5 people. Each person makes a center, or madallion. The each person sends their center to the next on the list. That person adds a round, or boarder, to the center. Then it is sent to the next person. When each person in the group has added a round it goes back to the person who made the center. It's very fun, and a bit challanging, to work on someone elses block. I used colors and techniques I'd never done before but was very pleased with the results. It's also very fun to get back your center and be surprised at how each person has enhanced it. The first RR I did was totally different than how I would have finished my center and it was so much better then what I would have done. :)
This RR I'm doing the same center as mequilter with a different group so it will be interesting to see how the two compare when they are done. I love the surprise at the end when the centers come back home!

I hope you will Denise! It really is fun! And for me the best part is the suspense waiting to see what your block looks like when it gets back to you!
