Another Rainbow UFO Finished!

Our assignment for July in the guild's UFO Challenge was #6. That meant I needed to quilt and bind my Rainbow Rail Fence, and it was another successful month. Here is my finished Rail Fence Zigzag quilt.


Rail Fence Zigzag
37.25" x 38.75" after washing

The blocks for this quilt were made as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge in 2022 and 2023. The quilt top was assembled in 2023, then it was deposited in the quilt closet. This UFO Challenge finally motivated me to get it done! 


I got rather carried away with my quilting on this little quilt. I did loops in the light rectangles, waves in the colors, and lots of feathers in the grey border and setting triangles. I love quilting feathers!


The backing fabric is a fun tie-dye looking swirl design. I have a second Rail Fence quilt ready to be quilted with the same backing, and I might try quilting from the back following those swirls.

I'm  linking up with:

Happy quilting everyone!

  1. Beautiful quilting - but what I really love is how those rails just float on that grey background. It made me think of a rainbow and fog. Great finish!
