I was able to get the scrappy rail fence quilt onto my longarm frame this week and it is now completed. Hurray!
The quilt top was made from a bunch of scraps leftover from backings and bindings. I pulled anything that was blue, green and yellow. I really made a nice dent in the scraps!
The back was also sewn from a bunch of leftovers. The blue fabric were chunks left over from previous backings. A few people donated this extra wide backing print. That means I had lots of bits to play with!
The lovely floral in the center was unlabeled. It might have come from my stash. I know I pulled a bunch of one-yard cuts I knew I would never use when Many Hands and Many Hearts first started out. I bought some of this fabric over 12 years ago.
I pulled more bits to make another scrap quilt. I haven't started cutting yet. I got distracted by a panel I came across - which I hope will become a quilt top this week. We shall see how far I get!
Hope all of you are safe from the fires and the winter weather!
It is scary out there!

The rail fence quilt turned out beautifully! Simple but effective. Happy stitching this week.
Wow, that was fast! It turned out even prettier than the blocks. Isn't it amazing what can be done with scraps? Congrats!
When you can make a dent in the scrap pile that is a total win for sure!!! It is a lovely finish! I'm looking forward to what you do with the panel!
Beautiful finish and I love the backing, too.
That is a super pretty one!
I like the finished quilt. Those colors look great together.
That's a great finish. I love how you pieced the back.
