2007 Row By Row BOM project I decided we needed a project for 2007, so started a Row by Row quilt. I decided to let you decide which size quilt you wanted to make, and offered blocks that were 6 1/2 inches and 12 1/2 inches unfinished. Now we could have made our row by row a themed quilt, but I decided to just use blocks, either new to Delaware Quilts or ones that were already in the BOM collection. Since you were making your own row by row, you got to chose how you wanted yours to look. And there are certainly plenty of blocks here to choose from if you didn't like what I used for my rows. I used the same fabrics in each row, which gave the quilt a uniform look. I used Batiks from my stash which were all lighter in color, I was sort of going for a baby quilt look. My quilt was made using 6 1/2 inch blocks, and I have 6 blocks in each row. The quilt is 7 rows long and the center finished about 36 by 42 inches. When looking for border, backing and binding fabrics I found what you see here, which to me matched perfectly, and complimented what I used in the center. I used six different fabrics in my center, with all blocks having a common background. My quilter did an excellent job in finishing the quilt when she stippled all the background, which made the patterns stand out. I wasn’t 100% happy with the quilt until she finished quilting it, and now I love it. My yardage requirements were:     Background - 1 1/8 yards     Lightest - 1/4     Second light - 1/2     Medium light - 3/8     Medium dark - 3/4     Dark - 1/8 (If I was making the 12 1/2 inch blocks my yardage requirements would be:     Background - 3 1/2 yards     Lightest - 3/4     Second light - 1 1/2     Medium light - 1 1/4     Medium dark - 2     Dark - 1/4 The center would finish about 72 by 84 inches)                 Row By Row blocks:    Block one - Row One, January 2007 - Chevron    Block two - Row Seven, February 2007 - Patience Corners    Block three - Row Six, March 2007 - Clay's Choice    Block four - Row Five, April 2007 - Colorado Quilt    Block five - Row three, May 2007 - Mosaic    Block six - Row Two, June 2007 - Shooting Star    Block seven - Row Four, July 2007 - Sawtooth Star 12 1/2 inches and 6 1/2 inches Here are EQ diagrams of two ways you can set your Row By Row, my favorite is on the left. Setting one, my favorite             Another setting, with two rows of mixed blocks Kathy in Michigan asked me how I thought this quilt would look in red white and blue. I think it would look super!             And April said she was making her Row by Row in Holiday prints, which will also look lovely.
