Wednesday Mr. Linky for more R posts.
R is for Rail Fence.
The Rail Fence block is a good one for beginners. Three contrasting strips are sewn together.
...and cut into blocks. If your seam allowance is not quite quite and the width of the strip set is a bit more or a bit less than it should be--just cut the strips into blocks to what it is.
These samples I made for this post will make the center of a quilt for a wounded soldier.

Perhaps I might have been able to get that one right - with a lot of help???
I love Rail Fence....such an easy way to make a beautiful quilt! The quilt I'm doing now is sort of a variation....the rails aren't the same size. So much you can do with the general idea and so fast! I bet the soldier loved this!
Today I am feeling quite ignorant with so many words I am learning! Rail Fence??? I thought it was related to trains! LOOLL!!!
Love, from sunny Lisbon!
Wow! Is there no end to the different types of quilt patterns? I'm so impressed! :D
I am still trying to get my head around Rail Fence.
I will be back later to look at the pictures again and hopefully I will understand the placement.
Bear((( )))
There's more to quilting than meets the eye!
