S'more Rows.1 Fabric Requirements

Welcome!!
 
This is the first post in my S'more Rows quilt project.
 
Row Boat
 
I am glad you have decided to row along!~
 
 
Save the dates!
S'more Rows is an 11 month project.   On the 16th of each month from September 2013, until July 2014 I will post one step in the directions for my S'more Rows quilt.
 
The rows are NOT made in order of their appearance on the quilt.  Rather, they are arranged in order of ease of construction, with the easiest bits being scheduled over the Christmas holidays.
 

The picture above shows my original drawing  - labeled so that you will know roughly what to expect when.  As I made the quilt it changed just a bit....I think it got cuter!

This month I'm sharing the fabric requirements with you.

S'more Rows was inspired by the S'more Love fabric line created by Eric and Julie Comstock for Moda fabrics.  This line shipped to stores in August 2013.  My drawing is based on the fabrics in that line.  This does NOT mean that your quilt needs to be.

This is primarily a scrappy quilt.  You can make many of the blocks from scraps.  That said, there are a few places where the S'more Love line is obviously the focus of my quilt.

You need the following cuts from S'more Love to duplicate this focus.

If I could only pick one of these cuts of fabric, I would pick the multi stripe.  It is my favorite from the line.  The quirky drawings of Mr. Campy and his pal Mr. Chocolate add immeasurably to the charm of this quilt.

I love your S'more Quilt! The finished top that you posted earlier is awesome and I can't wait to see it quilted. Something that makes me happy: definitely my three-year-old-granddaughter. If I won the jelly roll I would definitely make her a quilt with that delightful fabric. Thanks for sharing! I hope your son is doing well. My prayers are with him.

Love the quilt and can't wait to get started. What makes me happy is seeing my grown boys. I've been an empty nester for 10+ years and I still miss having them around and doing the mom things for them. Also, going on my walks with my Shih Tsu.

My youngest child makes me so happy. A lot of "I missed you so much" when she reunites with me at the end of the day.

Teaching others how to quilt makes me happy! It's so rewarding to see the sense of accomplishment and joy when a student finishes a quilt. Thanks for the chance to win and I'm looking forward to the S'more Rows project.
