Rail Fence Top

Here's another rendition using my Civil War Reproduction fabrics.  I was on automatic sewing these tops up while streaming the Orlando Trial (I can't bring myself to attach a name to the trial in view of its outcome) last June. 
A closeup look at the top.
I think this was one of the last tops I made so the Civil War fabrics were running low so I added some fabric from my stash.  This is my last scheduled post---hope to be back blogging tomorrow from home.  Keeping my fingers crossed Blogger does what I've told it to.  Thanks for looking.
Talk to you later~

Another Top

Continuing on from yesterday, I'm not nuts about this one, but it sure did use up some fabric.

Here's a closer look.
Thanks for stopping by~

Continued

This is quilt two from the Reproduction fabric marathon I talked about yesterday.

And a close-up.  I apologize for the wrinkles.  No time to press them out.  These tops are large!  I really need to resolve to get them quilted.  More tomorrow.
Later~

Pomp and Circumstance

I'm on my way to St. Louis for my DD's college graduation, yay!  For the next few days I've scheduled some pictures of quilts I made during  June 2011 but never shown.  It was during that famous six-week trial in Orlando, Florida.  I think you know who I mean.  I think of them in my mind as The Trial Quilts.  I had a large basket of Civil War Reproduction fabrics and decided to sew until I ran out.  I made almost a top a week! No patterns used but they're all simple and went together fairly quickly.  And no, I never did get to the bottom of the basket but did make a huge dent.  Stay tuned.
