We are not using the Row by Row Patterns from the current shop hop. Just making up as we go along with only apparently too few rules. However, we don't all follow directions as well as we could. Your suggestions are useful especially Tarton's idea of adding the same element to each row. Thanks to all, I'll wait until all the rows come in (due next weekend) before attaching them. It is interesting to see all the color choices and ideas from our small group of quilters. I hope to post a picture of at least mine when finished. Thanks again.
