Description

Review Moda All-Stars All in a Row: 24 Row-by-Row Quilt Designs places its designs in three categories - patchwork, seasonal, and playful - and uses blender rows to tie the themes together. Quilting groups and those who would put together rows with different combinations and results will find the step-by-step illustrations and instructions snap, while a quilt gallery offers many new ideas for a number of combinations. The result, with its bright quilt photos, easy directions and options for innovations, is recommended for seasoned quilters and novices alike. -- Midwest Book Review This book has quilts with row patterns by 24 Moda designers, including Lissa Alexander of Moda Lissa, Lynne Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles Quilters, Camille Roskelley of Thimbleblossoms, Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts, Pat Sloan and many others. These 24 row-designs fit into 3 categories: Classic Patchwork, Well-Seasoned and A Bit of Whimsy. Easily adapted for round-robin or raffle quilts where everyone wants some input, these quilting patterns can be mixed up as you wish. The quilt gallery at the end of the book also suggests other ways of changing the designs around. The single rows themselves can turn into tall, skinny wall hangings or wide ones to fit your wall. The gallery of quilts shows how to limit your colour palette to change the whole look of any quilt. Individual comments by each of the contributing designers make this book an interesting read. --Premium Online Quilt Magazine

Great book, but many errors in first two editions. Free replacement offered

Great book. But, there are many errors in the first two editions. Shopmartingale.com has the corrections on their web page, and is offering to replace the editions with the errors.

All Proceeds Go To Charity - Plus, No Quilter Will Go Unfulfilled

How humble of Moda to not broadcast very blatantly that they are donating all royalties from All in a Row to No Kid Hungry. Nice!

Whimsical, seasonal, child-appropriate, primitive, romantic, classic traditional, appliqued, embroidered, curved ... When 24 Moda designers come together, we all benefit. I was worried there might be too much "juvenile" content, but there is not. All the rows look great on their own, but they are easily customizable. And not just in length. It will be fun to design your own medley of rows.

Nothing is too challenging here in terms of techniques. Plus, there is no risk of feeling overwhelmed by a huge project. Think of all the gifts you'll be able to actually finish. No more wrapping up an in-progress quilt with a nice box and an abashed apology and an ardent promise. On this scale, you can practice improving your hand quilting and not even get a cramp. Alternatively there are no worries about how to stuff a monster textile sandwich under the short arm of your domestic sewing machine.

Excellent close-up photos show great detail and lovely ideas for quilting lines.

My only wish is that All in a Row did not end so abruptly. There's just 1 page of tribute to all the designers, and I missed it the first few times because it's tacked onto the back of the last page of the final project.

Very classy of Moda to donate all the royalties and not even mention that on the Amazon page for All in a Row. (At the time 9f writing this, that is.)

Love this book

I love this book! Each row is designed by a different Moda fabric designer. I followed this book on Instagram and learned from the publisher that there are errors. You can download them from the Martingale website, and they also give information on obtaining a replacement. I feel bad for the loss they will take, but really admire how they have handled their error. I will go out of my way to buy their books in the future!
Fans of Moda will enjoy this book, in my opinion!

talented designers/quilters and fabulous row quilts. Must have book.

I love this book for so many reasons....so many well known talented quilters/designers, 24 row quilt patterns that are simply beautiful. There is a great selection of classical, whimsy, and applique designs that will appeal to everyone. Their is a great gallery of quilts to inspire you to create your own version. And an awesome selection of "blender" rows that are so perfect for these rows! Wonderful book. A fabulous book to buy your quilting friend for Christmas! This book is sooo refreshing!

Mix and match to your hearts content.

Beyond cute!!!! This book embraces one of my favorite design styles- mix and match. Since these are all individual rows of blocks you can combine them into your own projects. Not only that you can simply make an individual row and use it on its own they are each so pretty. The patterns include both applique and pieced. These patterns would work with all sorts of color combinations and styles of fabrics. The themes are perfect for swapping out throughout the year to match the seasons and holidays.

Great quilting book!

This is a great book! Every row I have created has been fun and quite easy! I love the row creators comments about different things! Moda and Martingale hit it out of the park with this book! It is easy enough for the beginner and challenging for the more advanced!

So much fun! I made a cute and quirky quilt!

So much fun!! This book is so creative, I'm loving throwing all these rows together and seeing this quilt materialize before my very eyes! It's a great scrap buster and all the measurements have come out accurate. I've seen loads of quilts posted on the web made from this book and they are all beautiful and creative.
The appliqué patterns are accurate and the instructions are very clear. I've also been inspired to create rows myself to put my signature on this very lovely quilt. Have fun!

Moda strikes out with this one!

I was disappointed in this book. No shortcuts that are commonly used were mentioned. No fat quarters, jelly rolls etc that Moda widely distributes are featured. IMHO, patterns and fabrics for samples are blah rather than zingers that Moda designers use daily. It reminds me (both techniques and layout) of mid '80's.

So many options!

I loved this book. It has great instructions and great pictures throughout the book. I like the fact that not only can you do a row x row quilt with the books, but it gives great options for quick table runners and the like. Many of the elements in the book could be incorporated into other projects as well. Well done!
