Community Quilts - Rail Fence quilt for Summer Sewing - Fat Quarter Friendly

 Rail Fence 

One of my very first Rail Fence quilts was gifted to a new baby who eventually went to New Zealand with his parents. Therefore, I am known internationally for my quilting!  Yes, that might be stretching the truth just a bit... but my work is also in England and several European countries as well!

I want to share this with you to encourage you to join in with QCE Community Quilts and learn more about quilting as well as a few scrappy tricks along the way!

This quilt is in Alex Anderson's book START QUILTING, now in its 3rd Edition! Here's a link to check it out!

This Rail Fence pattern is the first one in her book. Super easy and quick to make!  We all have fat quarters, they are irresistible and so very useful!

While her pattern calls for yardage, I found that it also works well with only SIX fat quarters!

Here is my EQ8 jpeg of her quilt done in a two block version:

I only have the 6" blocks sewn into rows so far, and it looks like this:

Now to add the borders! I think I might need some more of that butterfly fabric.

Might I also have to shop my stash for some more aqua?

Will you see it at our next Guild meeting?  I sure hope so!
