Row Robin Swap - Sudi Laura's Row

Next up this weekend was a row for Sudi Laura. She wanted an alphabet quilt. Her first row is still with the previous person in the rotation, but I went ahead and started her row. I was scheduled for the letters F-J. Here it is (pinned badly against the neighbor's fence).

Here's a closeup of some of my favorite fabric. I just love this pink fern fabric. I have a pretty big piece of yardage of it, and this was a perfect opportunity to use some of it up.

This was a fun row to work on because there wasn't a lot of preplanning (other than choosing the fabric out of my stash). I just went at it making wonky letters. It was a bit hard to adjust the size up and make bigger letters (this row is 12" tall, I think) but it came out pretty well, I think.

Row Robin Swap - Darlene's row

This weekend I finished up a row for Darlene in NZ. Her original row was lost in the mail, so these two rows were made me and Sudi-Laura. Darlene's theme was "stash buster" and she wanted it to be classic blocks. I ended up doing 9-patches interspersed with a batik. I love 9-patches, but I think they need something to set them off (sashing, etc) or they just run together.

In the setting sun, it looks a bit Christmas-y, but in natural light, it's a deep red-pink and the green has a lot of blue mixed in with it.

Here it is with Sudi-Laura's row.
