QFS quilt number two from Sandy is a pretty
Rail Fence made with a lovely collection of prints that play so well with the navy that runs throughout.
If memory serves me correctly, she used a Jelly Roll for this one, but I'm not 100% certain. There's navy in each block, which you would think would make it dark, but the addition of interesting creams and grey soften it so nicely.
There are four strips in each block which creates lots of interest, and she quilted it on her machine, which I totally admire because I have yet to try machine quilting a project of this size.
Love those chartreuse corner stones - such a great combo with the navy border and light blue binding.
And speaking of the binding, doesn't it go well with that backing too? How can you not smile when you look at all those tiny little polka dots? Another beauty for someone to cherish....M
Such a simple design in this lovely quilt. I love how she chose to quilt it, Great use of a jelly roll.

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Marie! You know, the first quilt I ever made was a rail fence and it was pretty ugly because I didn't know the first thing about "controlled scrappy" or combining fabric prints successfully back then. It was a hot mess of way too many fabrics in clashing styles and color cacophonies with nowhere for your eye to rest. But seeing your quilt reminds me that this is a perfectly lovely pattern when the fabrics aren't fighting each other to the death!
