Lets Consider the Row Quilt

The Row Quilt is essentially a cousin of the Round Robin Quilt. Very popular among quilting friends and guilds, the Round Robin process provides great entertainment and inspiration for the stitcher. I was part of an Embroidery group that did Round Robins regularly and shipped the work all around the planet. Never a major shipping mishap. That sort of surprised me at the time. Sometimes there were delays but the end work was stunning.
The beginnings of our Row Quilt

A few weeks ago the Sew and Sews discussed the possibility of making a row quilt as a service project from our group. This is a shot of the rows to date. Can you see the pink fabric at the top? That is our focus fabric.

I have searched the blogs and Pinterest boards for examples and to study the design. A recent Shop Hop in this area presented an opportunity for the local shops to design a row, offer the pattern and/or kits to complete for a quilt.

Linda Sue expanded her vision by stopping at shops along the way of her travels. This is the result of her efforts so far:

Just look at those little flower pots! Yo-yo flowers! How cute is that?
Please excuse the double photo. I am having a little trouble with Blogger, it won't let me delete one or it deletes the entire post.

To my eye, the Row Quilt passion translates well to many formats but it still has to have some cohesive elements. If not it appears mis-matched and confused.....sort of like running through a jungle with no map!
