Rail Fence

Finished Size: 50″ x 57″

My records show that I started this in 2017 and considering this was a Leader and Ender project I didn’t do too badly. Of course my records are not always accurate.

My original plan called for a lot more blocks. The blocks finish at 3″ so it would have taken forever to follow through on that plan. This project was my UFO Challenge for May so I began taking the completed blocks to my Thursday sewing sessions and it moved along quickly.

I put a black border around the centre but I wasn’t happy with it, and neither was one of my Thursday people. We came up with the plan to add the red flange and all of a sudden I really liked it.

I did some straight-line quilting on the blocks and used one of my “fancy” stitches in the black borders.

The quilt was intended as a Community Quilt but, like so many scrap quilts, the fabrics meant much more to me than they would to anyone else so I’ve decided to keep it.

UPDATE: This quilt went to Kathryn
