I love the idea!

I have a call placed on the website of the Dutch quiltersguild and via Facebook, looking for local enthusiasts.

I have done some fabric round robins with a surface design group. Some of the fabrics were great successes, a couple were dismal failures that I am still trying to salvage. I would do this again, with the caveat that nobody use black sharpie markers on my fabrics. It was a lot of fun deciding which fabrics to send out and the excitement of seeing the end results when I got my share in the mail. It was like Christmas when I found the chunky envelopes in my mailbox!!

Quite a few years ago I was in a four person round robin......and all of us were all over the US and members of a dye on line group.......Each person had two two yard pieces......and we dyed and did whatever to those pieces.......and then sent them to the next person within a month.......when you got back your original 4 yards......you kept one two yard piece and sent a quarter yard to each participant.......so we all had samples of each others pieces and info about how they were done, etc........It was fun and I still look at my big piece........

I LOVE this! I'm going to send it on to my small art critique group since we had been discussing working on a piece with multiple techniques and then cutting them up to share. Both sounds good to me!
