Row by row quilts have become quite popular in the last two or three years. This book gives you 24 ideas on how to create a row quilt.

There is a one-page introduction to the book and idea from the contributors. The patterns have a colored photo of the row, a paragraph about it, its name and finished size. The material and cutting lists are easy to follow.

There are graphics to keep you on the right track and templates at full size. There is a framed colored box called “Here’s the Skinny” which tells about the author of that row. The patterns have applique, piecing and some are themed for the four seasons.

In about the middle of the book is a gallery of quilts which shows you various ways to use the row patterns. They can be whole quilts, bell pulls, table runner or centers, a small throw and even a baby quilt. Just use your imagination.

I can see taking blocks from the rows and creating my own quilt. For example, I like the leaves in the Bird on a Pumpkin row pattern. I will use just the leaves block and create my own quilt. The thread and pincushion is another one that I plan to use my own design for the final quilt. The point is that there are LOTS of things you can do with the 24 patterns in this book.

Grab a copy, look through your fabric stash and start sewing your next great creation.

What a great variety of styles and colors! I love all of the creative rows. My favorite though is the sand bucket!

This book is very versatile! Moda has many different designers and all these rows are one of a kind. It's a lovely effect. Great book for samplers!
