• Sewing machine and usual stuff, like rotary cutter and mat, pins, scissors, thread. (There will be a 2 irons and boards, but another might be a good idea.)

• A starter block – should be smallish, no larger than 8 inches on a side. Can be leftover from another project, something new or even just a piece of fabric. This will be the centerpiece of your round robin.

• Fabric pieces, scraps, strips, leftover blocks, stripped pieces to work as your additions to other people's round robins. If you are an embellishment sort of person, you may wish to bring beads, cord, yarn, fusible web, etc.

• Pigma pen or similar for signing blocks
  

Each person puts their block in the basket.

Each person then randomly chooses a block to work on (not their own). Your job is to add something to the block you have picked.

Options include but are not limited to:2 sides of a border, 4 sides of a border, embellishment (embroidery, beads, ribbon, fringe, etc.), part of another block, strip-pieced fabric, or fused fabric.

If you wish to, you may sign your addition to the block.

Be quick about finishing the block. You should take no longer than 15 minutes to work on the block. This is meant to be freeing, not stressing.

Put the block back in the basket you drew it from and take another you have not worked on yet. Add something!

Stopping time can be when majority of participants have had enough.

Each person claims their original block, complete with improvements. Ooohing and aaahing begins.

Please bring blocks from the round-robin (or whatever they've become in the meantime) to the September meeting for Show and Tell.
