I finally finished this rail fence quilt! It's far, far, far from perfect but I am thrilled with it!
I threw caution to the wind and went for it.
I learned some things along the way too.
That's always a good thing!
For instance, I should have used a walking foot to stitch in the ditch. I was told that over 12 years ago when I took the class that started this quilt.
Twelve years!
No wonder I forgot.
Sometimes I can't remember
what I did yesterday,
let alone 12 years ago!
That also explains why I was stitching
in, out, over, under, around, & along side
the ditch at times!
I was just about to start on the binding when a bright lightbulb flashed on!
DING!
You should of used a walking foot woman...
Tee-hee-hee!
I'm glad I remembered.
I will do so in the future.
Not the best picture but
I wanted a photo outdoors.
Note to self:
Work on taking better outdoor pics.
Love the colors in your quilt and the pattern too!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Donna, Your quilt is beautiful . . . I love the colors. I go along with the "Perfectly Unperfect" method of making my quilts. Any stitch that isn't perfect, I call whimpicial and that makes it perfect:) I'm sure this quilt seems so rewarding and I want to congratulate you on getting it finished. It's easier to sometimes start something new than to finish something started twelve years ago. Bravo! I am proud of you and it is gorgeous.
