Progress has been made on my row-by-row quilt. 5 rows are now complete and sewn together. I have also started the quilting process, and have the top two rows quilted. Backing fabric was from my stash. 2nd picture shows the quilt draped over my little cutting table. It is 36" wide so the quilt doesn't quite fit on it. But it has not been hard to work with.
Approximate count of different fabrics in the quilt so far is over 50. =)
Rows 3 & 4 are now pinned and ready for quilting. Will wait on pinning row 5 until after rows 6 & 7 are completed and attached.After all the rows are on and quilted then I will be adding a black border down each side the same size as the sashing in between the rows. Am debating whether to add a border after that or not.
Am going to try to see if I can get it finished up this week and turned in.
Gratitudes:
1. Many of the fabrics have come from my stash of scraps, love working with them.
2. For being able to find fabric for skies to use in this years rows as well as in the AZ rows that I have collected for a quilt for my bed.
Those rows are great, Moira. Very small masculine creature-ish. Are you using batting scraps for the quilting? This will be a wonderful quilt. Good luck with finishing this weekend, and getting it to a shop for winning a prize!
