Yuri and I finished up this rail fence quilt yesterday.  Here he is admiring some of our wavy quilting lines.

And this is what the whole thing looks like.  It’s 63″ x 81″, and the rail blocks are nine inches square.

It’s all from stash, and the colors were completely inspired by this backing fabric I had on hand.

I sort of quilted this backwards.  Visually, I wanted minimal quilting, so I started out using the walking foot for a serpentine stitch in variegated thread down each bar of fabric.  Then I decided that it needed more quilting to withstand use on a bed, so I went back and quilted in all the ditches with invisible thread.  It made it a little wonky, but the result is fine.  A myriad of troubles disappear when a quilt is washed!

This quilt will stay with me.  I was checking out bedding in case some of DS’s friends came home with him, and discovered that I didn’t have a spare twin quilt.  Now I do.
