Thanks! The binding and the back are the same fabric. It's so busy you cannot see any mistakes! No visible eyelashes, etc. Since I was having trouble with my fusible, I decided to give glue basting a go. Those delicious snowflakes on the bottom row are lightly glue basted, then zigzag stitched all around. The snowflakes on the top row are fused. They are only fmq outlined because the needle was getting all gummed up and I was getting frustrated with with the fusible. The row with the butterflies are all fused. I didn't machine applique them and when I tried to hand stitch them, I couldn't get the needle through with any ease. They are sitting there with a prayer. LOL! I decided that if they start to come off, I will do something about it then! Everything else is glue basted then sewed. Even all those letters are glue basted and zigzagged.

Beautiful quilt. I have collected 5 rows at different shops but there are few shops around my area so getting them requires quite a bit of travel. I got to one shop when we were on a trip 5 minutes before they closed! I'm hoping to pick up some more this next month as we will be going to a different area. Getting my quilt done will be another story...

Your Row by Row is beautiful!!!!! I too have been collecting rows but so far just here in Michigan. I winter in Florida and have a friend who is getting me a couple of rows there and patterns. We will have a project for the winter.

That is beautiful. Did you buy the license plates too. I have collected several. I only purchased one kit. It is a beautiful storm at sea. Something I have been wanting to try for a long time. The colors were just what I was looking for. It will make a beautiful table runner, when I actually pull it out and make it.
