Earlier this year 2 blogger friends Nat and Ria started a challenge using the fence rail pattern. The other twist was to use their Singer Featherweight sewing machines VINTAGE.
I had lots of scraps and a brand new featherweight. Well being true friends all rules were amended to include me.
I am so glad because of the friendship I gained and the quilt I now have.
The fence rail blocks are made from scraps. My stash culling used any fabric that I could a 1 1/2 x 6" pieces. I now have a new table cloth large enough for the family table.
The border fabrics were purchased in the states a subtle version of red, white and blue.A serious quilting weekend with friends and the fence rail quilt was almost finished. A binding from the stash and voila!!
A quilted table cloth with enough scraps from enough projects and items of clothing to keep everyone interested. A special thank you to Natima and Ria for encouraging me and posting with me on First Tuesdays.
Enjoy the weekend . Celebrate prepare or just relax. Terry

I think you are the first one of the three of us who finished the rail fence!!! I'm stil quilting it with a baptist fan-pattern!
Good for you!!!!

Love, Ria.
That is a beautiful quilt. The red and white border makes me think of a watercolor with mat board and frame. You could hang this on the wall for sure.
oh, that's lovely, Now I know what to do with my little strips
You have done such a great job on this quilt!! So love scrappy quilts, you have to keep on looking at all the colours and fabrics and try to discover 2 pieces of the same hihi! Enjoy using it for many years to come! Happy sewing! Daniëlle
