Yesterday was a very productive day here!
Cheryl finished piecing the Railroad quilt for my great-nephew. Here is the result.

The colors turned out to mesh very well, and the border really sets it off. Everyone's advice and comments definitely helped it to be the best quilt it could be.
I also was able to get a top finished. I have no name for this quilt other than "Practice" because the main goal was to figure out the Square on Point blocks and trying to make them match the four-patch. The fabric I used was some clearance Civil War fabric from the Choice brand that I have in my stash. I think it turned out OK, even if I did mess up the block on the upper right side (it doesn't follow down the row diagonally like I had designed it). I ignored the perfectionist voice in my head and said "to heck with it. For a practice quilt, it's just fine." It was nice to get something completed. Cheryl will use it to practice on her FMQ.
