Quilt Taking the Railroad Back to Gentler Times 021208QPC

The name of this quilt is Taking the Railroad Back to Gentler Times designed using two traditional patterns Railroad Crossing and Sickle. Railroad Crossing is a very old quilt pattern. It was first published in Farm & Fireside in 1884. It was called the New Four Patch. There are two secondary patterns that stand out in this quilt. Secondary patterns emerge when two patterns are put together and they create another pattern. It depends on where your eye lands in the quilt which you see first. Do you see the original patterns or the secondary patterns?

Two matching Decorator Pillowcases are included with purchase.

The size is 73" x 63". The fabrics are 100% cotton. The batting is 50% bamboo and 50% cotton. The fabrics were not pre-washed and the quilt has not been washed

The backing was created from two fabrics. A soft green flannel check and the Gentler Times fabric which was used as the outer border on the front. The quilting is an edge to edge meander using a neutral colored thread. The binding was applied using a decorative machine stitch.

I am not a business. I am a long time sewer, crafter, quilter who can't sew much after breaking my wrist with the result being severe nerve damage. The quilts are unused, unwashed. They were made as a learning experience to teach myself how to make as many traditional quilt patterns as I could. I created the quilt pattern designs using traditional patterns in EQ5, 6 & 7. They have been stored in minimal light, folded on shelving in a smoke and pet free environment.
