Row by Row

Hello, I am the author of this book and wanted to take this opportunity to explain the benefits of bar or strippy quilts for the beginning to advanced quilter. Each row uses simple blocks that will increase your piecing skill but won't bore you by stitching dozens of the same block. Each row is like a mini quilt and each row urges you on to the next row. If you stitch one row per evening by the end of the week you have a quilt top! For the advanced quilter these quilts are easily put together from your fabric stash and the "instant" gratification is fabulous! Use any theme fabric and try the fusible interfacing method to personalize the quilt top for that special someone. I have also included a block index for designing your own row quilt. There is lots of information and suggestions to inspire you in this book and I hope you will enjoy creating fun, one-of-a-kind bar quilts. PS: I would have liked to not rate my book and let you decide but I had to so modesty aside I do think it is a fabulous book!

A great book for quilters at all levels

The quilting projects in Row by Row are wonderful just as they are, but more than that, they can be expanded upon or adapted to whatever your tastes and interests are. You will find some great ideas for using up those "theme" fabrics and fat quarters in your stash. There's also an easy process for personalizing your quilts-whatever your message is, you can say it with fabric! I can also see where these projects would be great for guilds and quilting groups. I can't wait to get started!
