    Thanks for all the compliments.
    We started the round robin by placing all names in a box and then draw and have to make the centre block for that person.Put in bag and put name in without that person seeing. Then it gets passed onto someone else but remember that it must not be given to the person for whom the centre originally is,for the first border. Then to the next for the spine of the file, and then the last one was the back centre block. At the end the pieces then gets given to the person whose name is in the bag. We are a small group so had to make it short. But with larger groups it can be made to have much more, for example borders around the centre blocks and also the spine can be divided into sections. All depends on the size of groups. We then had to complete it at home and that is what mine looks like. [file] This is another of the pieces for the file.

    Susan,

    What a clever idea and it is just so cute. Love the idea of the round bobin, please tell, how does it work?

    Might have to try this with our group. Sounds like fun.

    This is a project of the Potpourie group and it is a round robin file. Someone started the centre front and then passed round to different members and then we had to put the pieces together. I have also included my needlecase we made into my sewing file.

    I used some of mine, but did not msake a quilt. I bundles them like a jelly roll that they sell in the stores and donated them as a gift at the last retreat.
    Someone else can figure out what to do with them all (I got an extra 100 in the auction)

    Wonderful quilt can't wait to see the finished project.
    Great pattern!

    My Christmas noodles are still waiting for the owner to find just the right pattern time. Think time is more of the issue. BOL

    I love it Anna, it will make a wonderful addition to your Christmas decorations. I am in need of completion of a pink Christmas quilt. I started it almost ten years ago and I only have it cut out. Some day, but likely not this year.

    I think you have to be a member of the Quilting Coach site to join the phone calls, or at least you did when I was a member. I loved them, but it was just too expensive for me. I don't get the How to Quilt newsletter anymore either and I don't know why. I always liked it. Guess I could sign up for it again.

    Great job Anna, You have so much patience, I would not like all the piecing, let alone the cutting out. Or are they paper pieced? I too am working on a quilt using the Christmas Noodles, just started so will be a while before show and tell.

    I finally got the last of 25 squares done today. I needed to put them on different fabrics to decide what to use for sashing and figured while I had them up I would take a picture to show you. I know its not the greatest picture, my camera isnt taking the best pictures these days. Santa may have to help me out again.
    I think I will surround the sashed blocks with a black border and then Im going to use more noodles and the scraps from making the blocks to make a 4 inch border of noodle stripes. Fingers crossed I have enough noodles to go around.
    I bet some of you have figured out there are only 24 blocks in the picture, the 25th one wouldnt fit on the china cabnet!

    You have done well Anna, love your Christmas Noodle Quilt.
    I think we have all found that you need to cut,
    arrange carefully, using the noodles or maybe it was just me.
    I have to confess I could not place the Navy Waves on the front of my Under The Sea/Shore quilt. So have put a block on the back after finding, even worse, have to confess, apologies to Noodle sender of Navy Waves, I have lost
    a 10 strip of your fabric. Do not go there, searched
    waste bin, fridge, freezer, every corner Pup hides his
    treasures, underwear drawer. All Noodles received used on quilt. You can be sure when quilt finished I will find strip of fabric somewhere.
    All the fun we have had with Noodle Exchange, it has been great.
