Scrappy Quilt show - Right Here!! :)

Rail Fence
Here is my first finish of 2014, a true scrappy since it was made with scraps left over from the Scrappy Trips Around the World I made last year. The backing is fabric I ordered online, waited six months to receive, only to find that it was the wrong color for the project I purchased it for -- but it worked perfectly for this Rail Fence. And the binding was the last little chunk of an orange homespun that I've had for about 15 years so I was glad to see it gone!
It is being given to some old friends of my husband's who lost their home in Superstorm Sandy and have since moved to Florida. They won't be seeing much fall color there so I thought they might enjoy a small reminder of the colors they've left behind.

I was so inspired by your quilt . I literally ran to my sewing room.. pulled out 2 charm packs( I had no clue how I was ever going to use them) and started cutting. Thanks so much for posting.

My Avatar Quilt ... Stained Glass ...
All the fabrics were "leftovers", mostly from the same project.
Backing is a solid cream ... bought to finish it.

I got carried away when making the strip sets/tubes.
So then had enough to make a smaller version ...

There were still strips left, so I made a couple of runners.
Only one in this photo, but they are both the same size ....
