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!
