by the group? What about colours? You have my info from the other swap,

You're signed up!

As for colors and decisions, all by you! You pick the colors, the theme, the
technique, whatever for the center square. The challenge for the rest of us
is to add our borders using our techniques and fabrics and ideas, but have
them meld with what is already there. I find it isn't too tough when you are
the 1st or 2nd border in, but when you are the last person to add a
border...talk about stretching the design skills!! That's why RR's are so
fun but also such a learning experience.

What ppl often do, if they have a certain color or theme in mind is send
along some fabric with the center to be sent along to each of the
participants. It shouldn't be your entire stash, because that would drive
mailing costs up. But for example in my asymmetrical round robin, I send
along my background fabric and some scrap pieces of my colored fabric. I
asked the ladies to please keep it primary colored. They could use my fabric
or add their own. A picture of the totally awesome result is in my webshots
gallery below.

Also, send along a little notebook or a letter. That way each person can add
a note about themselves and their contribution to the mini.

Fun stuff!
