-- Paper-piecing
-- "Regular" piecing

A method I won't use again because I didn't like dealing with all of the bias edges.

Bottom half of the quilt. 4 row's in this.

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!
