Row By Row

This was another block per month by Ngaire Brookes. It is part applique and part piecing. Some of the pieced blocks were quite tricky.

When Charlotte was a baby and quite little I used to babysit her while Kate went to work and this was her favourite quilt. We would make up stories about the blocks on the quilt - like where the grasshoppers might be going or why the rabbits had to run run run.

While I don’t make quilts in this manner these days it is a lovely jaunt down memory lane to revisit the ones I made on my journey. It is pictured here hanging on the fence during one of my quilts in the garden charity openings. It must be late spring/early summer as those are dahlias coming up in front of the quilt
