I haven't gotten to any quilting yet this month
as I am cleaning up my studio,
the space in which I do the actual sewing.
Today I came across the quilt top I was talking to Fireball about
which I will show you tomorrow,
but I also found these orphan blocks.
This was my very first quilt, a rail fence.
I believe these pieces aren't actually blocks
but the cut off ends of the strip sets.
I think I'll square them up and stitch them together
into a small table runner.
Maybe while I'm working on it
I'll remember why I drew pencil lines on them.
Rail Fence by Eleanor Burns was my first quilt. The reason for the quilting was the news of a new nephew...my first. Since we could not know sex ahead of time in 1987, the colors I used were pink and blues. The quilt was just used for a great niece and my nephew sent a picture. Fond memories stirred up by your post today. Thanks, Sharon.
