Rail Fence blocks Quilt

Lots of three strip squares set on point with a gradation of colour so that the lighter squares are in the centre of the quilt, setting triangles, a pieced border and a proper binding. The backing is part of a poly cotton sheet and some strips of poly cotton from my stash together with the left over bits from the patches.

Because I'm not good at quilting I decided to tie this one together and used narrow (1.5mm) polyester ribbon. That meant using a darning needle with an eye big enough to thread the ribbon into - and that had to be pulled through the whole lot (at the corners of the squares) with pliars! In the process I completely destroyed five needles by breaking the eyes with the force needed to pull it all through! On the positive side I was pleased with the way the setting triangles fitted.
