The right was mainly done by the other two ladies. I cried when I saw it. I hadn't specifically said "no apple faces" and "no pastels" an "no toy butterflies" on my block, but I had hoped that, you know, people would stick to the theme and the color scheme, overall. It's courteous to do so. I will be completely reworking the left side soon. The current configuration brings me pain.
This, along with some other issues in the group, is why I am not signing up for more round robins with Crazy Quilting International. I do my best work, looking at the block and the preferences of the block owner, and don't throw whatever is in my "to be tossed" pile of accessories to put on a block. I'd like others to do the same. Unfortunately, these two ladies (and I keep getting into round robins with them for some reason), don't follow the golden rule in that regard.
Should I be as upset as I am in this regard?

Just my humble opinion here. I, too, do my artistic very best when in an exchange or round robin. I'm a beader and a cross stitcher mainly. I quit doing them because I'd work my artistic heart out and I'd get back stuff that was just thrown together. In other words...crap. I understand what you are saying but I also think the block can be saved. I think you can remove the unwanted parts and use your artistic best to create a beautiful block with what is left, for yourself. Yes, you have permission to be upset, but don't dwell on it. Just don't do it again. :-) You know the people whose work you respect. Contact them specifically to do an exchange. You'll feel better with the results that way.
Thank you Pamela, for your comment. I haven't reworked this block yet, but will be soon. I've decided, for now, that I'm busy enough I don't need to do any round robins. That may change in the dead of winter, but for now.... I'm doing other things!
