I was so excited to start seeing the rows for the Minnesota Row by Row Experience but it seems that more than 1/2 the blocks being displayed around Minnesota are the applique style quilting this year. I did do 2 from last year that were applique and I just don’t enjoy that style at all. So I’m a bit disappointed now. I love the license plates, but not enough to travel around the state just to get those. I loved getting the blocks and trying new techniques that I had never done, fabrics and colors I don’t usually choose.
I’ve done the Quilt Minnesota shop hop a few years, but the last 2 years I really didn’t care for the material and I didn’t see any kits/patterns down with them that I was interested in.
It looks like this year, I’m going to have to find some other inspiration to keep me quilting.
