Featured Quilt - Have You Done a "Row by Row"?

Gail Surrena has, and this one features highlights from Alaska including fish, bears, and just a bit of snow. We also liked that Gail embroidered the name of each quilt shop where she picked up the pattern into each row. (Look at the detail.)

Janet Lutz started the Row by Row phenomenon with a free horizontal row pattern in a summer vacation theme, which could then be combined with similar row patterns from other shops. You can learn more about Row by Row quilts in Show 1811 - How to Make a Row by Row Quilt with Janet Lutz | Embellished Quilts with Eileen Williams.
