Illinois has had a quilt hop that started in June through August. It corresponds with the Row by Row Experience. One of the days I decided to combine the two and see what I could come up with.
Did not buy much fabric, but did get a few license plates, and the kits to make the rows.

| The Fabric Center in Morris has a winner. Their row is the fishes, the fifth row down. I like all the blue fabrics that have been used. They all go together so well. |

| This one is called Serenity Beach, from Sewing Etc in Yorkville, Il. She used pin tucks to create the waves. Check out all the embellishments. |
 |

One last one for today,
One Fish, Two Fish, Three Stripped Blue Fish, came from the Fabric Center in Morris.
I said I wasn't going to get into this years Row by Row, like I did last year.
Couldn't resist. Love the blue fabric that was produced for this years rows.
They all go together so nicely.
Hope you are having a great day.
