The Row Robin project...  how to deal with rows that don't go together! ... Yes - I CAN take the rows and make then into something else!

Back in February I noted the "ugly" row robin.  Well - it wasn't actually ugly - it just ended up being 8 rows of which only two really worked together!   So, having finally realizing that I could make more than one quilt - and that they blocks could be broken apart ..  now three quilts are done and one ready to quilt!  The February newsletter shows two of them...  here's that latest! So - instead of an ugly row robin - I have two wall-hangings now in my home, one quilt has gone to Afghanistan with a soldier - chaplain, and one 60" by 72" quilt top waiting for batting for a quilt for ME!!    Thank you Row Robin 1999 ladies!  Thank you so MUCH!!

For those who say "Finished is better than perfect."   ..   I add a corollary "Think outside the block". Lez Zwaal Maker of quilts Edmonton, 2006 This row inspired the quilt below.  Thank you Jo-IN!! This quilt went with a chaplain to Afghanistan, February 2006.
