This years Row-by-Row quilt top is finished. Finished size is 46" wide by 70" long. Most likely will be donated.
Quilt stats -
Materials:
-- Scraps
-- Remnants (backgrounds)
-- Orphan block components (HST's used in the filler blocks).
Fabric Count -
-- 137 different fabrics were used in the construction of this top.
Row Count -
-- Rows from 9 different Quilt Shops are in the quilt
-- 5 different filler rows were used to space things out
Techniques Used -
-- Paper-piecing
-- "Regular" piecing
-- Fusible applique with buttonhole and satin stitching in various blocks
-- the "Twister" method for dong the "floor" of the upper left most row.
A method I won't use again because I didn't like dealing with all of the bias edges.
Embellishments -
-- 3/8's inch button for the eye of the topmost bird
-- 5/8's inch buttons for the center of the records.
Bottom half of the quilt. 4 row's in this.
And the completed quilt top. I plan to use a scrappy binding on it once I have it quilted.

You are making progress! Row by Row quilts are fun, but they are certainly easier if every row is the same width! Yours looks great! Have a blessed Sunday!
Lovely! That's a really happy collection of blocks!
Moira, it looks great! Very attractive top, and a wonderful donation. I'm glad you had a great weekend.
Great looking rows, I enjoy seeing what you and Patty B are doing with these patterns.
