Welcome from Arkansas. The Rail Fence is a very simple pattern that makes a lovely quilt. And, it really doesn't require a pattern. For a lap size quilt I'd get at least a yard of three coordinating fabrics. (look good together) Cut them in 2 1/2 inch strips. Then sew one of each of them together . Then cut them in 6 inch blocks. Place one with ends up, the next one with ends side by side, the next one up and so on until you get it as wide as you want your quilt. Continue doing this until you have the size you want.This will be your top. Then you will take a piece of fabric the same size or a little larger and lay it facedown. Place a piece of batting on top of that and then put your top on top faceup and pin the three layers together with safety pins. Then it is ready to quilt. Come back for more lessons or PM me if you need advice. Thanks
