Round 3: A theme emerges!

As I look at my quilt I see a theme recurring quite unintentionally...at least consciously..evidently it's all about the circles!

Isn't liberated/improvisational quilting exciting? The quilts are infused with the makers' intuitive reactions to color, shape, size, balance, pattern...


The Liberated Round Robin project is so satisfying...quilts incubating and emerging little by little...it's tantalizing..no wonder we love it so! A journey undertaken with not as much thought given to the end, as the complete enjoyment of the process. It is the journey..not the end that is so wonderful! Perhaps my quilt shall be named Zen!

    Yes, I noticed the circles too! You have a great collection of fabrics and really have put them together in such a nice way. Thank you for taking part in the LibRR!

    This is growing in such a wonderful way. For me, it's a happy quilt. I was pleased to see the circles making an appearance again, challenging all those angles in the triangles, squares & rectangles that have been commanded. I love the colour and movement in this quilt.

    Very Zen! I love your where quilt is going. Like you, I am enjoying the process and letting the design go where it wants, round, by round. Someone asked me recently how big my quilt would be ... and I had NO idea ;-)

    Ditto everyone elses comments! And, I particularly like those narrow curved borders on the right.

    I love dots, and your use of them is so fun.
    I'm with Kathleen C., I found those narrow curves intriguing, along with those three little red rectangles along the top and the one on the bottom. I'm looking forward to seeing what you add next.:) Judith in AZ
