I've been going through blue scraps like an addict. I've used skinny strips for "AmandaJean's QAL," more skinny strips for my version of the QAL, some 2½" strips for a wonky log cabin, and even more of those 2½" strips for a normal log cabin and a rail fence quilt. That's five quilts! Five. Front and back. All fabrics from the stash. Guess what? There are still
However, although I'm calling the loss, I should show you the last of those quilts mentioned above. This is the rail fence, an easy pattern that used a I liked the outcome of the quilt photography in North Dakota, so I decided to do something like it here. Adam's truck was
Strangely, I don't think I've mentioned anything about the quilt top before today. Odd. But there it is, so here we are. Completely finished.
A quick stipple quilting motif and a scrappy binding. No label yet because I didn't know what to name it, but now I have that, too.

I love To Fetch a Pail of Water. I am a huge fan of the color blue, so I really adore this quilt. Great photography with the truck. I am just beginning to work on my photography skills for my blog. Have a great weekend! Andrea
Love it! I am with you on the never-ending blues, both in strips, in scraps, in 2.5" squares, and in yardage, it is the most prolific (and my favourite duh) in my stash. :-) LOVE this might have to whip one up for Syrian refugees... I like it on the truck :-)
String quilts are great. A good way to use up scraps. That is, unless you have a never-ending supply! Love your photography, too. It gives me some ideas. My photos have gotten boring lately.
Congrats! on using up some of your blue scraps.
A great finish to your blue period. Now which colour is coming next?
I do love a Fence Rail (though I've never made one!) So crisp. And one has to love scrap busting! Thanks for linking up with TGIFF @ A Quarter Inch from the Edge!
