Default Row by row

8 rows finished quilted and bound. I took it to the LQS and won the fat quarters plus a gift certificate because theirs was part of it. Have seen many rows around the state but my favorite is a simple one of the Macinaw bridge which was simple and had crystals on the cables. Of course, it one of my favorite places to go. Didn't think I would be the first in but since retirement, I am in my studio most days. Store has the finished quilt otherwise I would try and put a picture up.

Is it at Quilt-n-Bee? I was there this afternoon and they said their first row by row had been turned in this morning. It looked very nice. They are displaying it on the side behind the counter. I really like your bridge row. The material for the sky and the sparkles added a lot.

Oh my, I haven't even gone to collect that many. I guess I need to get busy. Congrats on your finish. You need to go over to the shop and snap a picture. We all want to see.

Yup, that's mine. I would have liked to add borders and make into a full sized quilt for the guest room but with the buttons, beads and crystals didn't think it would hold up. I have a wall in my bedroom where it will work well. Next year I want to do it again without the embelishments so can make it with the borders for a bed quilt. I was told the store in Marquette sold 600 kits to make the bridge row which I think is a lot for a shop in wayyy northern upper peninsula Michigan (love the UP).

I am in Michigan at the moment. I collected some in Florida near my home there and have gone three shop hops with a friend here in Michigan. Have the rows - lots of them - but not started putting them together. My favorite was the one from Marquette with the bridge. Too far from where I am. I'm going through Frankenmuth and Birch Run this weekend for a family reunion so will hit those two quilt shops there and one of them is the camper one. It's been so much fun doing this with a friend. We also went to Shipshewana IN for a couple there so I have them from three states. I'm sure some will end up in placemats and other forms.

Which store did you get your bridge at? I see that there is one in Marquette that has a sunset behind it and then one from Cheboygan......going to Cheboygan this week so will definitely check out the quilt store there.
