My 7th Row... Graceland!
 

At first I didn't love this row... but it's grown on me. "Home Sweet Home" is this year's theme, so why not Elvis' home? I think it was the wild colors in Graceland that I didn't like, but they were chosen to match the colors in the special Elvis fabric used. I thought about subbing them for something more realistic, but it wouldn't have worked. This is perfect. The pattern is from the Sew Memphis shop in Memphis TN.

This was a fun row to build. All pieced, hundreds of pieces to cut! Hope you like it.

Very nice. I look forward to seeing the completed quilt.

Thanks. Won't be long now! I think I'm going to quilt them 'as you go' style, individually, and then join them.

Looking great, again. I plan to QAYG on the RxR some friends and I are doing too. It makes sense to me, also.

Ah, good to know it can work!

I haven't purchased any kits here in Canada as I have collected so I can sub in any colour scheme if and when I choose.... that said.... I have probably purchased enough fabric along the way to make at least 3 huge quilts.....:D I love to see what everyone is collecting and why and how they are putting things together.... For me... I put rows from our travels that appeal to me in my quilt.... in colours that I think are fun. This year I purchased a meter of the Row by Row house fabric and have been trying to collect fabrics to coordinate with that.
Edited to add.... I was in a shop in Oahu with 2 of my nieces when the news of Elvis' death was announced.... they were under the age of 13 at the time... and when I got kind of teary... they said "who is Elvis" ?

good grief! Sorry ... forgot to mention that your row is looking good and will look forward to seeing it in your quilt!

Graceland.... now there is a serious pop culture row by row! Good job!

a big fan of Elvis and i love your quilt!

Bonnie it looks great. You as always did a wonderful job. Lots of pieces is no big deal for you. :thumbup:
