2026 ROAD TRIP ROUND ROBIN
Invitation to join the SA Quilters 2026 Road Trip Round Robin Sew Along….
On a road trip to Karoonda quilt shop Chris O’Brien, Sue Knuckey, Peg Argent and Heather Ford nutted out the basics for the 2026 Sew Along, so that’s how the Road Trip Round Robin came into being.
This time we are taking you out of your comfort zone, we are asking you to be creative, you’re the designer. These are guidelines only. Feel free to modify to suit your centre block and the design as it progresses. Above all have fun designing your quilt.
All measurements are finished. Seam allowance needs to be added.

See below the 2026 Road Trip Round Robin Sew Along quilts made by Heather Ford, Chris O’Brien and Sue Knuckey.

Remember that your choice of centre block, the colours and fabrics you choose, will determine the look the rest of your quilt will need to follow, for it to be a cohesive project.
MONTH TWO – MAY 2026 – ROUND TWO
Add a 1” border if your block is 12” square. Others add narrow borders 1” – 2” wide. This could be pieced
