Today
Another day
Let's runaway
to the mountains or the plains
Walk in the sun
learn to run
toward the end
around the bend

These photos are of two RR quilts.....the first is finished but the cowgirls was never returned to me...It was sent to a quilter on the Dear Jane list in 2005..after several attempts to retrieve it...I'm calling it lost...this does not mean however that I will never attempt a RR quilt I have a square ready now if anyone is interested in adding a 3 or 4 inch border...usually there are about 4 participatants..each starts by making their own center square and then they trust the next robin to add a round suitable to the center...I've worked on several that turned out quite nicely....
