Finished Rail Fence

I just finished this for my friend Suzi. I pieced the back with the leftovers from the front. I have to say that the quilting on this was a pain. I am not sure why. Two weeks ago I did another one and FMQ went like spreading butter! So I jumped into this one thinking "I'm good at this now!"
WOW!! How wrong was I?!?!?!? And this was a smaller quilt, too! It was so much trouble, I gave up on the FMQ after getting through the middle and just did straight lines in the border.

Clearly, I am so NOT good at this now. Oh well, just means I get to keep practising, right!?!?

I like this quilt a lot, and I am not a fan of the rail fence pattern. Nice job!

Love it front and back. Rail fence is one of my favourites. Despite you saying the quilting was a pest and you are not entirely happy.....you are being too hard on yourself. I think it's great.
