EQ7 Seasons RAL - Spring Row by Jennifer Ofenstein

If you remember way back to three weeks ago, my Spring row looks like this! I couldn’t resist coming back this week for a little show & tell!

Baby Quilt made from my EQ7 Seasons RAL Blocks

I used the blocks from my row to create the super fun baby quilt to donate to my favorite blanket charity based right here in Austin, Texas, The Linus Connection. I donated my very first blanket back in 2002 and have been going strong ever since. The blankets and quilts go to children in crisis in Central Texas and I’m proud to be a long time volunteer! ❤

EQ7 Seasons RAL - Spring Row by Jennifer Ofenstein

Here it is! My Spring row!

Spring is my favorite season. The winter blues are driven away, the trees begin to bud, spring babies are born and the earth begins to turn green again!

PJ7 Pattern will be emailed upon request. Please contact sewhooked@gmail.com.

Hear me talk about my row and other projects I’m working on my video blog, Talk to Me Tuesday!
Visit the TTMT Community.

My idea was to celebrate my favorite season with baby chicks, fresh out of their eggs, pecking around the grass and flowers for something good to eat.

EQ7 Seasons Row Along: Spring Row by Jennifer Ofenstein Every pattern in my row is a 6″ (6 1/2″ unfinished) paper pieced block. Follow the instructions in the pattern to make this row, or mix and match to make your own fun row or other quilty project!

I’m absolutely loving the beautiful tonal white background fabric from Northcott! Anyone that visits regularly knows that I’m a bit of a Northcott junkie with Stonehenge being one of my all time favorite fabrics!

The entire row is paper pieced with optional embroidery or paint for the chicks’ eyes. I drew mine on using Tulip Fabric Markers. EQ7 Seasons Row Along: Spring Row by Jennifer Ofenstein

Small pieces freak you out? Try chain piecing them!
