Comments
After seeing a display of row quilts at Honey Bee Quilt Store, my bee, The Gypsies, were inspired to do our own row quilts. We each set our own specifications and made a signature row. I collected black and whites and decided to use them. My theme was Black & White & Red with a Heart. Each month we'd make a row for someone and then pass it on to the next person. We did not get to see our own rows until all seven were completed. When they were finally revealed, we were all very excited and had a lot of fun.
