Rail Fence


This is what my rail fence looks like so far.  No matter how much I add to it, it looks like I am about halfway done!  The blocks finish at 3" squares.  I'm not removing anything, but if you were adding to my stone soup, what kinds of fabric would you add?  Anything over-represented or under-represented?


Here's a closeup.  I have been adding pieces from all of my scrap boxes.  Please don't try to imagine what my sewing room looks like!

WOW that's looking great. Real scrappy. I think you've hit every color in good proportions. How big will the final product be? Good job so far. Jenn

Your rail fence looks amazing. I have always seen the rail fences bigger than that, I really like the 3" inch squares.

this looks great - I don't see any color shortfalls, but you can't ever have too much pink ;0

I think it's looking great. Three inch squares. Gads that's small! But I love what you are doing and can't think of a fabric/color you need to add.

Those dark colors really unify the piece. Three inches is small!

Your rail fence quilt looks great. I love the scrappy look. I have only made this pattern once with blues and browns. However, after seeing yours I am thinking that I should take out some scraps. It looks so different and interesting.

Great way to use up scraps!

Your Rail Fence quilt looks like vegetable soup colors! I love the greens in there! (And your sewing room probably looks a lot like mine...)
