I was happy to see my quilty friends at guild meeting this past week and we enjoyed a wonderful presentation by Jackie Syer (no website that I know of). I signed up for the new QPOM (Quilt Pattern of the Month) program, where we get a new scrappy quilt pattern each month. Got scraps? We are getting ideas!
So when I was at Gail's house this weekend, I started cutting 1.5" strips for my new QPOM project called "Not Just Any Rail Fence". I am sewing these blocks on my 301 (gifted to me by Liz) to give it a good workout.
On my design wall today are the blocks I have sewn so far. I have already finished about a quarter of the blocks - 16 of the 63 needed. I think I need to add in more red and gold and brown. What would you add? Hop over to Patchwork Times to see more design walls.
I really like this pattern. Very fun twist on the rail fence. I like the idea of more gold/cheddar--maybe a little more red, but I must ask--where is the purple?
I love the machine and the quilt blocks, I would add more orange and red.
ReplyDeleteMore gold/yellow
ReplyDeleteMore light blues :)
ReplyDeleteCute pattern for a stash/scrap buster - you are going to get lots of answers which just means 'don't be afraid of color'!
ReplyDeletePurple and lime green maybe some bright yellow!! Sparkle make it shine!! Very interesting pattern.
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteYes, more bright colors added to this will make it shine. I like the idea of a Block pattern of the month that uses scraps! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteNice start on a fun scrappy project! I would add more green-- but you probably already knew that :)
ReplyDeleteMay I suggest considering more cheddar fabric to brighten.

ReplyDeleteLooking great.
ReplyDeleteGreat fences Kathy. I would add some cheddar because I love ♫♪ ORANGE ♫♪ and some red. Happy sewing.
ReplyDeleteLove your scrappy project!!
ReplyDeletethis sounds like a good BOM but I have promised myself nothing else new till I have finished more of the projects that I have at the moment
ReplyDeleteI like this pattern. Add any color you want. Remember it is suppose to be scrap so the more color the merrier.
