2018-2019 Row by Row Exchange – Round 1

At the December guild meeting I picked up the row by row project for Grace Marko.  Grace’s project is a set of 1930’s reproduction fabrics and asking for simple blocks that were in use in the 1930s.  Seeing someone else’s take on kitting for a row-by-row exchange was interesting:

1.  I have this rather large bag.  Grace has a 12 x 12 inch plastic box with a handle that is maybe 4 inches thick.  Obviously, Grace had more of a clue.
2. Grace has a large selection of fabrics.  Most are fat quarters.  All of them are pressed and starched.  She did a lot more work preparing fabrics than I did.  Also her fabric size is more in keeping with making a few blocks.
3. Grace has a one page typed sheet for her directions.  I wrote a lot more, but Grace was effective in communicating what she wanted.
4. This is a row-by-row exchange project.  Grace’s directions say “do not sew your blocks together”.  What?
5. Grace did not provide a row as requested, so I have no idea what she is really thinking.
    
   I got done with my blocks and wondered how I was going to show them at quilt guild, so I tacked them to strips of fabric.
