I made a RxR quilt two years ago and won the prize for first turned in. It's hanging on the wall in my sewing room upstairs. I love it, touch it alot, and marvel at the beautiful rows, but really have no desire to make another one. I did buy a local row kit Saturday while I was at a shop for a class, but I only plan to make it into a wall hanging... just the one row with a border.
Seems like a lot of shops either don't put the effort into design, or don't have an employee with the skills to make a good design. I've seen a lot of rows I would not make. More of those than ones I would make.
