I love the Row by Row Experience! I made a quilt last year (we were traveling so I was able to pick up lots of rows) but so far this year I am only collecting the patterns. I agree with Sandygirl, the rows reflect the history in the local area. They are all so interesting. It is worth your time to stop in and greet the ladies in the quilt shop and talk about the excitement surrounding the Rows. You will be inspired by the shop owners, their staff, the displays, the entire environment! Some advice: check out the patterns for the shops on facebook before you go out of your way to stop into a shop just to get the row. Make sure you like it! LOL, I have a few that are definitely not my style. Over all, it's such a nice program. Maybe next year we will be traveling in July or August! You know, it takes lots of restraint to pick up only the pattern and not buy the kit. Good luck!!!
