Road Home to Manitoulin

Back in 2016, I participated in a row along, sponsored by Marian Pena of Seams to be Sew.  The theme was 'Road to Home' and I thought I would really enjoy this event.  I did!  My idea was to create a 'filmstrip' wall hanging showing important sights that I enjoy while driving to my home on Manitoulin Island.
At the time, I placed all the files on Craftsy, but you all know that most of these files are not available to people any longer.  Marian suggested that we all do a recap and bring our row along and files back up on our own sites or blogs.  She will host a gallery of all the Row Alongs that she has run and I think this will be a great gallery to peruse - and maybe even to prompt us to make new projects!!
I still am not happy with the rocks I did for Block 1.  I redid them, but they still don't look right.  I'm going to do some thread painting and try to fix the block.  Frankly the whole quilt could probably use some thread painting!
Thanks for visiting and looking at my row and thanks Marian for this prompt!
Here is a link to a pdf file for the project:    Road Home to Manitoulin

All the pages of directions and templates were created with the format of 8.5" x 11" paper.

If you like the filmstrip idea, here is a sheet with the instructions for how I made the strips:

I'll show each block and the template pages and then I'll put in the 18 pages of explanations for the whole row.

And here are the files with the explanations and images to make the whole row!
