Well, I have finished my second quilt. My daughter picked out the fabric and this is what she is ending up with. I have so much more to learn but I sure am enjoying every bit of it!! This is a great place to get help!!

Using the black in the middle of the rail gives it wonderful depth, almost 3D-ish.

Depending upon on how I squint, I see either the black floral as the main rail, or the turquoise.

It's such a simple pattern but choosing the right fabric combination elevates it to fabulous.

Instead of the standard Light, Medium, Dark, you did a Light, Dark, Medium, and it really, really makes a difference.

Great job!
