Thank you Amanda Jean (from
Crazy Mom Quilts) for pushing me out of my comfort zone. She posted an awesome tutorial on the rail fence quilt. I decided to try a BOY quilt to donate. I have 3 girls and a grandaughter so this was a big step for me. When I first started putting it together I thought it would not even be good enough for donation but I am excited to see the finish. I think I really like it.
I used green and brown. I used all pieces from scraps even the back is a soft flannel with pine cones on. It sort of has a camo look without being camo. I quilted it in a verigated thread and that just made the whole thing pop. It really looks much better in person.
I used up a nice chunk of stash and am happy to mail it off. It was a good summer day!

Terrific quilt! I like the colors and the backing fabric.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and I like to use flannel in a man's quilt. You did a terrific job.
ReplyDeleteI am making a rail fence quilt, too. I have only cut out the strips so far. Yours turned out wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou're right - it does have that camo feel. It's a great quilt! My boys would love it! :)
ReplyDeleteThe colors look great and the flannel backing will be so comfy!! I have all boys and I know they would like this.
