* When picking fabric to use on a border, try to keep the particular theme of the quilt going.
* Usually, but not always, it is better to start with a smaller first border and as the borders progress, the size of the border should progress in width too. This is just an aestheticaly pleasing guideline, not a hard and fast rule.
* Be sure to square up the borders as you go, try to pass on a square quilt to the next person.
* The Golden Rule, sew for others as you would have them sew for you!
Good Luck ladies! There are a bunch of past round robin pictures on the website, http://www.hebervalleyquilters.iwarp.com/ if you want to look at them for ideas. Go to the slideshow link.
By the way, the picture is one of Cat's Round Robin Quilts, I think this one is from 2006.

Also, call me if you need any pattern drafting or printing. This is one of the best exeriences in expanding your quilting comfort zone. Good Luck everyone!
