The “Rows Parade” Quilt Along participants who complete the monthly assignments have the opportunity to comment “Done” on the last day of each month. Those who comment “Done,” are entered in a drawing for a free magazine.
The winner for completing “Simple Windmills” in January was Judy Valentino. Judy, I sent you an email but did not hear back from you. Please email me, stating your USPS address so I can mail you a magazine: aby.quilts@gmail.com.
The winner for completing “Hearts” in February was Norine Henke. Be sure to respond to the email message I sent you, Norine, so I can mail you a magaine.
Congratulations, Judy and Norine!
The free pattern for March is “Nine Patches,” and you can find instructions on the “Rows Parade BOM” page of this blog.
Eilene emailed me a picture of her rows and blocks to date. Her quilt is going to be so cheerful!

Marianne K. dug into her bin of 2 1/2″ squares. I love the totally scrappy blocks; they will add a lot of interest to her “Nine Patch” row.
Linda G. is making the lap quilt, so she sewed her “Hearts” and “Nine Patches” column together. Applaud the fussy-cutting!
These quilters will tell you that “Nine Patches” are quick and easy to make. If you haven’t made yours yet, perhaps you’ll have an hour or so to make them this weekend. Happy Sewing! — Aby
Congratulations to the winners and Linda G’s is super!
I sent in my pictures of my two red and two blue nine-patches for my Quilt of Valor Throw..
Congrats to the winners and Eilene I just love your sweet hearts 🙂 Are they applique?
