I know I ask lots of questions!

So that is why it is a row robin.
Regarding time. I was going to do two months but I think a year is long enough so with nine people I need to tighten it to 6 weeks to make it a year (new at hosting; didn't expect such a big 'turnout' :shock:
So the way it will work (and I will finalize in a few days since I think we will be closed before the end of the weekend.) is that it will be one quilt (85" wide or if owner chooses 85"long). Everyone will add one piece that is between 5.5 and 14.5 inches that matches the owner's theme.
That way when it gets back to the owner it will be practically a queen (just need a few borders) or a king (just need a few more borders)...i know perhaps big but i just didn't have the heart to say no too soon. :-(
does that make sense or is it too early in the morning and i am rambling? :-D

Okay we have nine :). However I am waiting for Kelly's address so when I get that or if I don't hear soon I will take the tenth person who asks in her place.
For those who have given me your theme...thank you. For those, who haven't don't panic. You have a bit of time to think (but not much as you have to make your own first row as the owner.
More details as soon as I close this swap.
"I'm so excited; I just can't hide it..." :)

Hi !! I would love to join, I too am new at quilting. My colors are dusty rose, sage green and cream. My name would be "Home with Friends" I just want to be clear, I make my first row include a journal and labels and send it to the next person. Then I receive a row from another member to complete in two months and then send it on to the next person, forgive me this is my first round robin and I want to make sure I don't bite off more than I can chew. Thanks for your help.

I hope I am not too late. I personally think you should leave the swap open and not have a limit - do a couple groups if you need to. I would be able to make a few of them to even it up if it would help. Perhaps have 2 groups depending on people's preference of having a smaller quilt, and a larger one, maybe also an international and a US one..
