Fence & Rail Baby Quilt Finish!

After what feels like forever I have finally finished my fence and rail baby quilt! The top is made out of a jelly roll. I am a bad quilter and do not know the fabric line. Opps!




This quilt is a milestone for me because I was able to go from start to finish on the quilt and do it all myself! It feels good to need less and less help each quilt. Ok I admit, I did need to double check on the sizing and how to use my binding tool.



I followed the chevrons on the back as my quilting guide. I am so proud of myself because I didn't mark my quilt lines, but trusted myself to sew a straight line down the middle of the chevrons. I do think this is my best quilted quilt yet!!





I even got to use my first custom label! I know they are small and a little on the boring side, BUT I thought I'd start somewhere.


I do have to say that I am not super in love with them. When I tried to hand sew them the fibers kind of broke apart. So I machine stitched it to make sure it didn't break out of my hand stitches.

  2. Great job! I remember when I first started using my binding tool lol. Let's say I spent a lot of time with my seam ripper because I always managed to get the binding turned the wrong way! Now, I hardly need to even use it :) I like your labels, plain and simple is great I think!
