I went through my Washington State Internet Quilters block swap blocks and decided to add eight to the sides to give it more width. I think it turned out nice. Here are the rows and the people who made the swap blocks:

8. Karen's Quilt Shop, Sequim. Herons by Naomi Vargas Peck
All quilted and bound. It is currently in the wash, hope nothing disintegrates before I can take it to the shop tomorrow!
I just about totally changed the 7th row, Creative Union. I changed the compass to make it paper pieceable, and I also paper pieced the sailboat, changed the rock a bit, and left the rope off the anchor. Oh, and I didn't reverse anything, so the master row is going in the other direction. Oh well.
I quilted the cable lines on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. I thought about embroidering, but went with this instead. It turned out well I think.
I think that's it on my report for the putting together of the rows. Now I am just hoping I will be the first one done at the shop tomorrow! We are taking Daniel to camp first, but I don't think they open until 11 or 12, so I may be ok :)
I can't believe it's quilted AND bound! Amazing! I love the way you added the blocks on the side and they fit the theme of the rows. Hey my block even made it in there! I hope you are the first one!
ReplyDeleteYAHOO!!! Those blocks fit the Washington Theme you have going. I need to still add some quilting to my Bridge to nowhere. All your Rows are from WASHINGTON.
ReplyDeleteDid the shop want to keep it to hang there? I got to bring mine home.
