SoScrappy Saturday 1.24.2026

Today is the fourth Saturday of January of the color blue. For this week's project, I decided to make rail fence blocks. I chose the same blue for the outer rail and a light gray for the middle. Hummmm...not exactly the look I was hoping for...


pattern: Rail fence, public domain
                I cut strips at 2.5 inches, sewed along long edge then subcut at 6.5 
                    inches (unfinished).

I'm going to pair the rail fence blocks with my novelties for a child's charity quilt, something along this idea. I have 'other' projects to complete, so this will wait. I should probably set aside the blue for binding...if I was smart, eh?


pattern: 6.5 inch (unfinished) novelty fabrics with 6.5 inch (unfinished) rail fence
                     blocks

Sharing today with SoScrappy Saturday.

YES! That was a great idea to combine the rail fence blocks with the novelty fabrics. That will be a great donation quilt.
