This swap is for a scrappy rail fence. You make a rail fence block, like you normally would, except for one major difference. You get to the point where you have 4 pieces to sew into the final block. Don't sew them together!
Please use 100% good quality cotton. If it is possible, please prewash your fabrics. If not, please say so, and why you are unable to.
The rail fence pattern is here.

PLEASE NOTE: This pattern uses a scant quarter inch in its directions.
The pattern calls for 3 colors. This is a scrappy swap, so anything goes!
Make 4 units for each set. You need to do at least 3 sets. More that that is welcome. Maximum for this swap is 9 sets.
Please pin the 4 units together in your set, and then label them.
Please write on the bag, or pin a piece of paper.
Please include your real name AND Board name.
Send them to me along with an ADDRESSED RETURN envelope. Please have it be stamped. I would prefer a flat rate envelope(4.95) be used depending on your number of sets and how flat it is. PO is being picky where I live.
Sign-ups will close on Sunday May 1st PM me if you wish to join. Please do not sign up until your blocks are done and ready to mail.
Blocks due to me by MAY 11th. Please plan mailing accordingly!! If you have issues with meeting the deadline send me a note if you have already signed up. You also have the option of dropping out of the swap if something comes up. Blocks are due by the 11th of May.
Please review the rules that apply to all swaps. They apply to this swap, too.
