We’ve had so many weddings this year. Â The end of September marks our last one (at least as far as I know) wedding for the year. Â I’ve made quilts for many of them..nothing fancy, just a rail fence quilt.
I sure wish I’d have had more time to do something fancier but all in all, this is good. Â The fun part of this quilt, I really never sat down and just sewed on it. Â I would sew a few seams here and there. Â Then the phone would ring and I’d iron and cut the blocks. Â I love this next picture of Ruby….
I didn’t have quite as good variety in this one that I did on the others I made. Â I was running low on white pieces, but it’s not bad. Â I am sure the couple will find some use for it even if it’s only the blanket in the care for emergencies.
The backing and binding are the same.
I used a red thread on front and back with a swirl design.
All in all I’m happy with it and especially glad to have it finished. Â All I need to do is wrap it up and get a card for it. Â I’m well ahead of the deadline. Â The wedding isn’t until the end of the month. Â We are are excited to go to the wedding it’s being held in our town’s new event center and the guy getting married used to work here on the farm. Â It’s nice to see the kids grow up and make their way.
For now…one more thing is checked off the list with the finish of this quilt.
I love the Rail Fence quilt pattern. You took your time to make a homemade gift, could have given a Gift Card. This is so special I’m sure they will love it. You did a great job – looks awesome!
I think you have done a great job. The colours all go well together. There is enough contrast
Beautiful quilt Jo!
Great job Joe! I wish I could get organized enough to do more quilts for weddings and babies etc. I get caught up in the fact that if I do for one I have to do for all.
What a great Rail Fence Quilt! Makes me want to make another one…maybe not today or tomorrow, but soon.
Happy Quilting!
This has enough white in it. I like the contrast and the best part, it is Ruby approved. I am sure she would not be sitting so pretty if she did not like it.
I love the quilt and Ruby just makes it one of your best
