Round Robin Designs

I know that I am not involved in this, but will the rest of us get to see these beauties?

@Eagle - We've been posting pictures of our progress in this thread, and in a few projects we created. (We're sharing instructions among ourselves, but won't make them public until all the doilies are done.)

Doily #1 - started by me, added to by @Coretta and @PattyD, now with @taryn:
http://www.craftree.com/projects/2152
(This currently has a picture of the state of the doily after PattyD but before Taryn has added to it.)

Doily #2 - started by Coretta, added to by me, then @tattrldy, now with PattyD:
http://www.craftree.com/projects/2083

Doily #3 - started by PattyD, added to by tattrldy and Taryn, now with Coretta:
http://www.craftree.com/projects/2134

Doily #4 - started by Taryn, added to by PattyD and me, now with tattrldy:
http://www.craftree.com/projects/1698
(In this project I have all the doilies as they pass through my hands. The square doily is Doily #4 started by Taryn, the six-petal flower with butterflies was my Round 2 on Doily #2 started by Coretta, the little one-round snowflake is my start for Doily #1).

Doily #5 - started by tattrldy, added to by Taryn and Coretta, and now with me:
http://www.craftree.com/projects/2174

So all the doilies are now in "Round 4" (i.e., with the fourth person to add to them; often we add more than one round), then they'll go to one more person for "Round 5", then back to the originator for the final round.

Hope that covers it...

@tattrldy I'm having the same trouble with Grace's Doily. None of my ideas have really made me happy yet

Sp glad I'm not the only one. :) i don't like to be the one to hold up the show.

@PattyD the current state of threads. I expect to use all the green on the left and all the pink on one card and some on the other probably 3 yards.

I am definitely behind you all. Still tatting my model - but I'm interrupting it to do a necklace for my aunt for her 77th birthday...

So I'm done! I was full of indecisiveness again and got my sister to choose her favourite out of 7 designs. This was the winner. I tried to use some ideas from the centre as a basis.

Well done, @taryn! I really like how the doily looks now. And those 12 points are a good foundation for Round 5. Congrats to your sister, too, for her good taste!

Doily number three round 4.

I'm planning on typing it up today. Then off to GraceT.

in reply to Coretta's post:

Ooo, Coretta, this is beeeeeautiful !!!!

Wow, @Coretta! That is just amazing! I have a tough act to follow. Time for me to start researching Mehndi...

@GraceT you always do a lovely job. I did try to give you plenty of places to join though. :) As for thread @PattyD, If I was doing the next round I would probably use the purple, but that's up to Grace but even if she did a plain chain all around, there wouldn't be enough thread. So discuss amongst yourselves. :)

Thanks, @Coretta! Yes, I think purple would come next. Just had a look at some mehndi patterns. Something feathery is now called for, I think...

And meanwhile, I am still trying to decide how to add "Round 4" to Doily #5. Should I double the points? Maybe they don't need to be doubled...

Ooo! @Coretta, that looks great!

That is so beautiful!...just from this beggar....would it be possible to share the pattern you ladies came up with for these doilies?

@Eagle, we're sharing the patterns just among ourselves right now. But when the doilies are done, we do want to publish the patterns!

@GraceT
Let me know where to buy so that I can get a copy!

in reply to Eagle's post:

We haven't discussed this yet! I myself rather expect that we'll be publishing them for free on Craftree...

Just an update:

Yesterday I received from @Coretta Doily #3 (the mehndi-inspired one started by @PattyD).

I'm still sitting on Doily #5 (the pink one started by @tattrldy). I actually finished the design for it two weeks ago, but Christmas intervened, primarily in the form of a tatted necklace for my aunt. That's now finished, so I will get on and finish my part in Doily #5 as soon as I can and send it to PattyD for its "Round 5", then I will get started on Doily #3.

Okay, my part in Doily#5 is done! Here are a couple of pictures:

There are also some progress pictures in my Round Robin project: http://www.craftree.com/projects/1698

@PattyD, this doily will be coming to you quite soon! I'll let you know when I've posted it.

@GraceT that looks gorgeous

It looks amazing @GraceT

The macro picture looks pretty amazing @GraceT

Yay!! I'm so glad that you all like it.
