A Melting Pot of Piecing Traditions. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Choices for Rail Fence QAL - the wrong choice! Well I had worked out three possible scenarios for. Fabrics for the first Rail Fence and decided to use some. Of my Tropical fabrics which I felt would look good with. Co-ordinating solids - I don't normally use solids - and wished I hadn't! I should have taken more note of the comment. Linda at Koka Quilts. Anyway here are the first - and - last three blocks using the solids. Now these I like!

Basket full of Scraps. And working on an impulse. Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Organized a nine patch swap and shared this really fun way of making the blocks. Http:/ funwithbarbandmary.blogspot.com/p/9-patch-swap.html. I had never made nine patches with this method. If you are looking for making a scrappy nine patch quilt, this method is very effective. You need 2 - 4 1/2' x 4 1/2' squares of contrasting colors. Each pair of fabrics makes one set of nine patch blocks. Way too much fun! I sure hope so!
