Are you looking for a scrappy quilt??? This one that Barbara made could be it!

Barbara told me the name is Rail Fence, but I wasn’t able to find a pattern. She saw the quilt and just made it. If you know of a pattern, please let me know and I will share it here.

If you look at the block it’s four strips sewn together to form a square, then the square is cut diagonally from point to point. Then it’s mixed up with other triangle blocks and sewn together. Barbara added sashing, which also makes it easier when sewing the quilt together to avoid having to line up all the strips on an angle. To ensure that your quilt lays flat and doesn’t have a lot of fullness, make sure you trim down your blocks to the same size and then measure and trim your sashing pieces before they are sewn on. Making that extra effort makes all the difference in a quilt that is pieced on the bias.

I gave Barbara a few designs to choose from, and she chose Pearce by Keryn Emmerson from Urban Elementz. It’s such a beautiful design that quilts out beautifully!! Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/pearce.html

I used Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads, which is one of my most used colors. Omni thread is top notch quality and my longarm machine loves it.
