Rail Fence Quilt Blocks for the Win!

Posted on January 30, 2022February 4, 2022

I got a wild hair to make some 4.5″ (unfinished) rail fence quilt blocks a week or two ago. Yes, using I.5″ strips. I never said I was sane! I sewed 4 of the 4.5″ inch blocks into a larger block.

Please ignore the threads on that block. I made about 30 of thse thinking they’d make a nice 40″ x 48″ quilt.

When I went to audition the quilt I soon knew that I wasn’t going that way! Here are two layouts I auditioned

“

I liked it but I wasn’t sold on it so I tried this too!

I liked that too and realised I had enough blocks to make these two quilt tops:

And this one:

In my unimaginative way I’m calling the first one “Bright and Busy” and the second one “Bright and Cheerful”.

They are being added to the mountain of flimsies I need to quilt. It may be while until I decide to make more rail fence blocks!

    Both of your quilts are “bright”! And given the snow on the ground, such a nice “bright” toppers for the cold winter. I love the 4 inch rail fences. I like that size a lot and tend to do smaller measurements.

    I love them, so wonderful to use up some scraps. I could easily make these with my mound of scraps and use them for donation quilts. Thanks for the inspiration!

    It’s super cute! I don’t want to make any more quilts…well, not until I finish some of what is started. I love this idea and it’s a great way to use up the smaller scraps.

    Beautiful finishes and I especially love the snow for your backdrop. Thank you so much for linking up to Put your foot down. Hope one day I will have a quilt along that will pull you in.
