I participated in a swap of Rail Fence blocks in Christmas prints in 2006. I got the top together but never had it quilted. It was the perfect top to do more practicing with on the LQS's HQ-16! :-) I did freehand loops and stars all over it and I just love it! :-)) I purchased an extra wide backing fabric for it, so no seams in the back to worry about. It quilted up really fast! Much faster than the pantograph did on the blue/tan quilt below! LOL Of course, it is a little smaller top too. It will fit my DS's twin bed perfectly this holiday season. :-) It will probably take me until then to get the binding on! LOL :-) You can click on the photo's to make them larger. ;-)
Today I worked on some more of the Christmas blocks for this year's swap. It is a fun, fast block and I'm really excited for this swap to be finished. Hopefully next year I'll have 2 Christmas quilts for our beds. :)) Whoohoo!
Until next time~ happy stitchin'!

Like the rail fence very much! Good for you for using up your swap blocks from 2006. Any more UFOs?
You are so lucky ot have a LQS with a longarm to rent!!! Your really turning up the notch on turning out quilts now! :)
Your Christmas Rails look great! Wish I could say I had a Christmas fabric quilt to snuggle up with each year... but for now it's on the "to do list" along with dozens more... *sigh*
