I've been making more blocks using Sujata's rail fence design
And as promised, here's a few progress photos

I love this, it looks retro to me! Just up my alley :) it's such a super pattern, and your colour combos are really invigorating!! Love it!! Love, love, love it!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love your fabrics and your combinations, especially the big plaids!
ReplyDeleteWow - very cool - amazing how they all go together isn't it, well done!!
ReplyDeleteVery original and striking! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks really good Linda. :)

ReplyDeleteLovely mix of prints Linda! I love the use of plaids!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes I love that bigger plaid especially! I got a couple of fat 1/4's ages ago at a patchwork meeting. They feel sort of silky and have been very useful.
Deletethe quilt top is lovely, I like the plaids very much...need to think on that, maybe my Kaffe needs a bit of plaid
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful and for sure not too colorful. I love it just the way it is!
