I finished and turned in my quilt 2 weeks ago at Thomas' Sewing Center in Mesquite. The prize was 25 FQs and a $25 gift certificate for using their row. Because they do not have FQs pre-cut I got a few yard cuts and the rest in half yard cuts. All batiks. They are shown below.
I put this together as minimally as possible because I plan to take it apart and finish the rows into wall hangings for my office. I will get more enjoyment out of them this way. For now I will enjoy it as it is. I have to locate the fabric I want to use as borders for each wall hanging so I am in no rush.
In other quilty news. I have hired a college girl to come over and help me with my organizing. I needed someone that could help me move furniture around and help tidy as we went without commentary and complaining. She has been over for 2 - 2 hour sessions so far and we have made a big impact. I continue to to tidy on my own and can't help but smile when I want to put something away and know where it belongs. By trying to work away at the mess in small bites of time I actually accomplish more because I do not get overwhelmed. I make lists and then we work on that list until time is up or the list is complete. Progress!
More to talk about but I will save it for another post.

Congrats on your Row by Row! I picked up a bunch on a trip through Michigan/Ohio last month, but haven't completed my quilt yet. Good job on the organizing. A bit at a time is the best way to go.
You got some fun rows! Our State had a lot of Fish.
LOL! Is that a pair of fish with guns?? Hysterical
very nice win...enjoy the loot!
What a great win. All those wonderful fabrics to fondle!!!!
you are accomplishing a lot even with the new job. congratulations! love your rows.
nice quilt! sounds like a great idea to have someone help you with organizing if you can not do it yourself.
Well done! Nothing like that happens here in the UK, we don't even have shop hops :( You've been busy!
