Stash Report, Row by Row 2015

Last year I completed  10  rows from the Row by Row shop hop.  I collected many more patterns, but those were all I got sewn.  My goal this summer is to chose a layout and get a top finished. Eight of the ten rows I completed were summer themed or  used a lot of bright colors.

 
Right now I think I'm going to combine these rows with some of the rows from this year's hop. I usually just pick up the pattern and use my stash from the rows, but when I was in Quilter's Corner this week, I bought a kit for an applique row.  This kit has pre-cut and pre-fused applique pieces to make construction easy.  I don't enjoy applique, and that is the ONLY way I would attempt this row.  I didn't count how many little pieces there are, but the lady at the shop said about 50.  Maybe she was joking?  It is still going to be a lot of work, but very cute, I think!

Cute turtles. I don't like applique either. I've learned to like some fused applique, but, not too many pieces. That said, I now have 2 different patterns (mini quilts) to make for my hubby. All fused applique, at least.

The sea turtles will look terrific as a row in your quilt, which is great by the way! What a fun, beach themed quilt Laura. Well, as you might know, I love applique. It gets addictive because it gives you more freedom to create pictures.
