I made a pink and green Rail Fence at a class. A friend wanted it for her mom who was diagnosed with breast cancer. I machine embroidered inspirational words she wanted around the border, then sold it to her for the cost of materials.
How I ever got the words to come out evenly around the border is anyone's guess. The top was even perfectly square when it was done and ready for the long arm quilter. It was freakish, dumb, newbie luck. And a heck of a good instructor at the class!
