I like it but it looks like "barbed wire" to me so I would call it a barbed wire fence. LOL

I agree with jilaine. I've got a quilt top made from the Urban Fences pattern from Kansas Troubles that I have been thinking of doing SID quilting on===I don't know if I can be as neat as this quilt. I'm glad to have seen a top totally done in SID. I would like to try this pattern sometime.

It was very time consuming as I needed to really slow down to stay in the ditch. But all said and done I really love the quilt. I am glad I broke out of the thinking that quilts with a lot of angles need cury quilting to soften them. I encourage you to go for it!!
