Fourth Rail Fence Progress



I have been working on a rail fence quilt as a leader / ender project, and yesterday, I pressed the blocks I had made so far. The Fourth Rail is a dark one, hence its name, and the rest are scrappy. I haven't decided on the layout for this quilt, but the dark rail will help show off the layout.

I am really happy with this is how this is turning out, and I really like being able to feed these blocks through while I am making something else. It somehow motivates me to keep quilting because I don't get to that "good stopping place" as often when I am working on these as well.

Rail fence is addictive! Never thought to do it as a leader/ender. Making 2 quilts at once. Good quilting time management!

Rail fence is so satisfying! Love these happy blocks!

I like doing a L/E project too just for that reason.

Using leaders and enders is such a great way to make progress on another project. Love you rail fence blocks. Looks like you aren't far off of having enough for a final layout.

I love it. It has both movement and good value contrasts. The repeated fabrics make it all play so nicely together.
