. . . a long time ago . . .

{like approximately october of 2007}

. . . i swear i posted about 

this simple little rail fence quilt 

that i made in a class i was taking . . .

. . . but, for the life of me . . .

. . . i simply cannot locate it . . .

. . . see another project from that class here . . .

. . . anyhoooo . . .

. . . suffice it to say that, 

oh, only about twenty months later . . . 

. . . this, the first project we worked on . . .

. . . is finally finished . . .

. . . we learned about fabric selection . . .

. . . dark, medium and light values . . .

. . . please note the loopy/swirly goodness 

of {again} the expert machine quilting . . .

. . . and because when i'm done working on a quilt, 

i really don't want to have a lot of leftovers . . .

. . . i piece the back together using up scraps . . .

. . . you need to know that 

the pro/expert/artist who quilted this for me 

does so freehand . . .

. . . no pattern or pantograph to follow . . .

. . . she's amazing . . .

. . . and since each quilt should be named . . .

. . . i give you neapolitan . . .
