Clickety Click Here For Border #1 Pattern
It’s the big day girls!! We get our border #1 on the center block for the Round Robin + a few winners!!
Take a look above – yup, that is border #1!! Isn’t it totally spec-tac? I totally love the addition. Thanks to Joan! How about a bit about her:
Hi, Posse quilters! My name is Joan Lucchese. I live in the San Francisco Bay area. I am married to a wonderful guy and have four terrific kids. My mom and grandmother were both quilters who taught me how to quilt when I was ten years old. I have made many quilts for family and friends and have always enjoyed designing my own quilt patterns. Two years ago I bought EQ6 software and fell in love with computerized quilt design. One of my first projects was this paper-pieced kaleidoscope quilt. (It’s a little wrinkly since it’s been folded up in the closet for a while.)
When I finished it, the folks at Electric Quilt borrowed it to hang in their booth at quilt market in Houston.
I was fortunate to have several of my designs chosen for the Rose of Sharon book and DVD compiled by Sharon Pederson and published by Martingale Press in August.
I love the friendships I have made while participating in various quilting activities online. I have met warm, wonderful quilters who are so generous with their wisdom and encouragement.
My pattern design career is in it’s infancy so I appreciate Becky allowing me to design for the round robin border #1. I blog about my quilting adventures at www.caliquilter.blogspot and I hope you will stop by and visit me there. I hope you enjoy making my borders. I look forward to seeing your photos on Flickr!
Please make sure you drop by Joan’s blog and see what else she is up to!! Totally talented girl if you ask me.

Becky, I’ve just finished the second round. Can you just check the finished dimensions of the block (9″ x 6″) as I think it should have been 9 1/2″. Ros
