In our Metro Mod guild, round robins are becoming a favorite. This was one of the first and a few others are in the works. At the February meeting, David brought this and asked if anyone wanted to add to it.
It looked like stained glass and I could envision a rose window above it. So, I took it.
After learning paper piecing for Victoria's Christmas Flower block for the bee...
...I thought I'd try paper-piecing for this too. It was a bear figuring out how to design and sew such a huge paper-pieced section, but in the end it turned out just fine!
It was declared "done" by the group and passed to Kim who wants to quilt it.
The best part was seeing the picture posted by Victoria in her guild meeting post. I was so busy showing and telling, I missed David's reaction! Sometimes, with a little luck, you just get it right. I love it when that happens!

Indeed, I didn't see his reaction either...because my jaw dropped even further than his...smiles...it is simply stunning...
I know! I love that picture too, his reaction is priceless. You did such a great job on that. Wouldn't you love to have that as a door?
Absolutely beautiful!
That rose window inspired addition to David's quilt is totally awesome.....forgive the cliche....but it IS!
It's so fabulous.... Way to go Andrea!
I saw this over on Victoria's blog and LOVED his reaction. You did a FABULOUS job and it took a great quilt to a whole 'nother dimension!
I saw this on the Mod Guild site and liked it then. It was a very inspired round robin add. It is always a joy to work on another quilt's piece and have the result be so spectacular. You all have a great guild. Bonnie
Andrea, I was simply amazed by what you did to his quilt! It is just gorgeous and a stroke of brilliance on your part. Bravo!!
