Welcome to Day #11 of the Moda All Stars All in a Row Blog Hop. I am so proud to be part of this talented group of women who have donated their time to create unique rows for this book with all proceeds donated to No Kid Hungry. Each day of the Hop, two designers have been swapping rows to put their own twist on the other designer's row. Kaari Meng of French General and I are posting a version of each other's rows today. I LOVE her Drunkard's Path variation, but not so crazy about the curved piecing. What to do? Layered Patchwork! I used her template to create the quarter circles, then simply stitched them on top of the red squares for a super easy version of this delightful row.
Here's a list of all the previous Blog Hoppers so you won't miss a thing:

My part in the Beauty Contest? A nutty fall princess, complete with acorn/leaf tiara, fall feather boa and my acorn/leaf row as a sash. So chic! (FYI - I was looking down at the floor because a previous beauty contestant fell over a cord. Trying not to look like the queen of klutz!)
In addition, I'll be giving away a copy of the All in a Row book right here next week on my regular Monday blog post. Any comment enters you in my giveaway!
You make a great Fall queen..

Your solution of getting around curved seams is wonderful. Thank you for participating in such a great cause NoKidHungry! Looks like an awesome book to help make a dent in my stash.
ReplyDeleteI love your addition of the acorns to the leaves! Definitely a row I would like to work on!
ReplyDeleteLove your row - very nice!!!
ReplyDeleteMy claim to fame: I actually was a beauty queen! But don't tell anyone. It is part of secret past. I love your purple path! I took a class in curved piecing last year.
ReplyDeleteI love your row and all the rows with KT fabric being my favorite
ReplyDeleteAlthough you would have truly been the FALL Queen if you had FALLen over the cord, I'm glad you had the grace & presence of mind to look down! I take it your right hand was in Princess-Wave mode! Hahaha!!!
ReplyDeleteYour fabrics and Layers of Love technique continue to blow me away! Thank you!
Fun row--and good idea on how to tackle the French General block!
ReplyDeleteLove that crown!
ReplyDeleteLove your acorns! I have some leaf blocks that I was looking for an idea for "between" blocks for and the acorns would be perfect! And your fall crown is so cute! You did a great job dressing the part!

I love the all star fashion show, what fun:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book and cause! Can't wait to see all the patterns in the book and prioritize and create!!!
ReplyDeleteIt would be a delight to have a copy of this book! Giving me time to have your fun fall row finished and ready for my table ;-)
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing nutty about a beauty pageant contest who is cautious enough to watch where she is walking!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win a copy of this wonderful book. I would love to get started on a row quilt, and I think I would find a lot of inspiration in Row by Row.
I love this book. Every row inspires me to create a row quilt. The rows would also be great as borders. I might have to start small with a table runner. There are not enough hours in the day to make all the quilts swirling around in my head!
ReplyDeleteThank you for designing a "fall" themed row, Lynne. I love leaves and especially acorns.
ReplyDeleteI love your row Lynne and the outfit that goes with it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a tad scared of curves, interesting to hear there is a way you can make them with out "making" them.
