What you -do have- to notice ... (but that you can't see ...) is that it took me only 3 hours to cut & sew this rail fence together!!! :lol:
It looks like mini-stairs ... so ...I will call it Baby Steps.
This will definitely become a regular --- in all the colours of the rainbow!! :D

fun choice of fabric ! can't wait for the next WIP pic!

calano1 04-12-2011 04:17 AM

It usually takes me ages to piece a top together ... I was astonished at the speed this was finished!

sueisallaboutquilts 04-12-2011 04:21 AM

Ugly??? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! Your fabrics work just fine and it's really pretty!
Shame on you for the directions you gave us!!! :D:D:D

Your "NOT TO NOTICE" comments aren't true...it's a lovely quilt and the fabrics work great together. Give yourself a break and a big pat on the back for a job well done!

Kat Sews 04-12-2011 04:31 AM

How can anything that girly not be cute.

redturtle 04-12-2011 04:50 AM

i dont see where the fabrics are not playing together...looks great to me!

Diana Lynne 04-12-2011 05:24 AM

laughingquilter 04-12-2011 05:28 AM

Wow - you're being way too hard on yourself! I think the fabrics are great! Who doesn't love girly pink? You've done a great job! Keep it up! :thumbup:

SuzyQ 04-12-2011 05:32 AM

I see no ugly fabric ... I see no fabrics that don't play well together and if you hadn't pointed it out ... I wouldn't have noticed it was unpressed ... I would have just thought it was the picture <grin> What I see is a very pretty, well done, work in progress!

This is a VERY pretty quilt with lovely fabrics & colors!!

charity-crafter 04-12-2011 07:14 AM

Sorry have to disagree with you, it's not ugly fabric. It's quite cute. I went through a period where I hated small flowers so I do understand personal preference.

You did a very fine job on your rail fence.

clem55 04-12-2011 07:52 AM

I love the fabrics, and your seaming looks great.

smagruder 04-13-2011 02:54 AM

How cute. I like the fabric and you did a great job. I would like to make a quilt with this pattern some day. Good job.

Janet My 04-13-2011 03:54 AM

Very nice... I made and posted one last week. I called my "Purple Baby Steps" because mommy wanted purple. I cut and pieced mine in a day. The 1st rail fence that I did and I was amazed how fast it worked up. A good patten to use for a quick small quilt.

Dina 04-13-2011 04:23 AM

I like your quilt and the pattern. You are just too hard on yourself...and I know I am not the first to say that. I've never tried a rail fence. I just added it to my list to do!

roadrunr 04-13-2011 05:57 AM

I also like your fabrics adn think they look fine together.

lillybeck 04-13-2011 06:27 AM

Very nice and not ugly at all.

Not Ugly at all and with the right border and binding it will really shine, Looks great to me.

Not ugly at all, bind it with green or yellow to match the colors in the floral fabric and you have a great quilt. I love rail fence.

brendadawg 04-13-2011 07:23 AM

Definitely not ugly. I like it.

WI Rose 04-13-2011 07:49 AM

Me, too, on loving the pinks and how nicely they play together. Great job so far!! And in just 3 hrs. That is really great!! Don't forget to show us the rest of the quilt. Hugs and smiles!!
