WINDROWER

I've made another row quilt; this time using twelve of my favorite 3" blocks.  No pattern as I just design as I go.

THE STATS:  Windrower, 2025, 27" x 33", Paper pieced, Machine pieced, Machine quilted.


 Growing up, we had a longhair dachshund that was definitely a house dog.  But, when no one was home; she would go with my dad to farm for the day.  Her favorite activity was to follow the windrower up and down the acreage with those short, little legs.  She would come home in need of a bath and ready for a nap.  Some days I feel like I have followed a windrower by foot all day, too.   

Not familiar with the term, "windrow" or "swath" --- my old dependable 1956 edition of Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary says "a row, or strip"; and by extension, a windrower is the farm machine that does the job of cutting and raking up a row of hay to dry before being baled, etc.

In honor of "Rebound", our infamous, smart, funny, not afraid of anything dog; here is my row quilt called "Windrower".
