Grandson Quilt ~ Row by Row |
Grandson Quilt Front ~ row by row |
Grandson Quilt Back |
This quilt was made in July 2015 as part of the Row by Row Challenge in the USA and Canada. Participating Quilt shops are giving away a free pattern (row), you collect as many patterns as you like and create a quilt, row by row. you must use at least 8 rows. If you are the first person to bring in a completed, quilted, bound, labeled, quilt to a participating shop you win a prize. I won a fantastic prize from the Golden Gese Quilt Shop ~ thank you so much, I love all my new fabrics :)
I finished binding this quilt last night, and so excited to share my quilt with all of you. I used the 11 rows I collected from different places, 10 from USA and 1 from Canada. My husband and I enjoy our visits to new quilt shops and I love making purchases of some fine fabrics to bring home. All the blocks I chose are things our two grandsons ages 3 and 4 enjoy like fishing, tractors, and dragons (in Lake Champlain ) . It is a two sided quilt, 5 rows on the front and 6 rows on the back.
I'm just seeing this now - what a terrific job you did on this quilt! I visited a lot of shops last summer, but wasn't able to see how the designs could be combined the way you have done it. I really like the way they make a picture rather than only being rows. : )
ReplyDeleteCertainly this is a quilt to be remembered and remembered by!
Thank you so much for your kind comments June. My husband and I traveled to a few states to get the rows that would be fun to include in this quilt for the grandsons. I too, do not care for the look of the rows, so planned carefully how to arrange the rows I had to make it into a picture using the row by row patterns. The grandsons have had many a sleepover this winter tucked under the warmth of this quilt. Thank you for writing.
