Split-rail Fence

It is finally done! I started this last March in a class with Cynthia England because I wanted to learn her techniques. She supplied the pattern and the fabrics (although I used a bit of my own just because).

I kept putting off working on it and called it my 'insanity quilt' for obvious reason
s. Some of the pieces are half the size of my pinkie fingernail, and I was sure I'd not make it through will all my faculties intact! Finished size is 29.25" x 39".

Cynthia is an energetic young woman and a lot of fun. I enjoyed her class and love her quilts. I thought I was a detail person, and I do love precision piecing, but after making this, I'm not so sure.
One thing I do know—I'll never tackle anything like this again, and my respect for Cynthia has quadrupled!

Double-click the photos to see them larger. The partial one shows how I quilted it, which was another gray-hair producing experience! Do I get a medal now? LOL!
