Moda All Stars All in a Row

Today's my day!

I hope you all have been following our Moda all Stars All in a Row blog hop and quilt along. Each designer has been paired with another, with a different style and asked to make each other's row in our own fabrics. Great idea, don't you think?  My partner is Jen Kingwell. Be sure to visit Jen to see how she made my row. http://jenkingwelldesigns.blogspot.com

And Jen is a 'cover girl'. Her row is at the bottom of the cover. 

The designers...I'm 4th and 6th is Jen, kind of hidden. 

Here is a better photo of Jen, as she walked the runway. 

And this is Meadow Rose. Jen Kingwell's beautiful row...

Hope her photo and her row show on your screen. In the draft of this post they don't on the laptop but they do on the iPhone. So this is from the book...

Here is my version of the row.  I combined Eliza's Indigo and Lizzie's Legacy which will be in shops in March. 

The palette...

I had so much fun making the blocks and made one too many! Found out I have some good prints for fussy cutting!

...an it's sew cute Meadow Rose bag! I love it! Note the braided strap - haven't braided in years, Back when Rachel was in high school. I do get carried away. 

Love Jen's design on my kitchen island...

Thank you Moda and Martingale! A beautiful book, talented designers, super fun projects, and for a good cause too!
