As I mentioned before we started with a traditional medallion style round robin as a means of finding out what worked and what didn't, in terms of time scales and rules. Then we made blocks on a theme, this was probably better because we had fewer rules - just the theme chosen by each group member, see 'Seven Go to India'. Then we made a strip quilt with no rules - only the strip made by the quilt owner to guide us. Strangely enough that was more conservative than the previous one and we've all ended up with good quilts but with fairly predictable results.
The current challenge is much more demanding. We've each chosen a photo, which has been cut into pieces and we are re-creating those pieces in whatever scale the recipient chooses. The original idea was that the photos would be 'interpreted' rather than 're-created' but we're moving at the pace of the majority so that's O.K.
This is one of the photo sections, it is 2" (5cm) square:
I happened to have seen a photo of the full image, since I made my block, so I know that it is from an Art Deco panel. This is my finished 8" (20cm) square:
