Nine patch - rail fence quilt made in two colors
I have made a rail fence quilt. Is there a free pattern for this nine patch - rail fence quilt out there? Pass on the link if so.

Jan, What is the heart quilt pattern? I think that looks fun for Feb.!

Dina, if you starch your fabric, especially the triangles, prior to cutting & sewing, you'll find the fabric holds it shape & doesn't stretch as easily. Good luck & be sure to post pics when finished. I don't believe that you can starch too heavily.

oh that is a beauty, i think red and white would be gorgeous but that is because favorite color is red

This pattern would adapt well to what I call strip quilting. Two of the rows in the 9 patch have the same order as the rail piece. This could go real quick.

You could also do a black and white, with the center sqauare of the nine-patch in Red or Turquoise or Peach. That might add a touch of pizzaz to accent your room.

Jan, your idea of doing this quilt in "scrappy" is lovely! I'm a scrappy lover, and now I want to do this one! Thanks for the idea!

Remember what was said, 2 colors does not have to mean only 2 fabrics. Using lots of prints in the same colorway adds so much interest and pizazz to the quilt. So go ahead and do it in navy and yellow.. or whatever you choose. But here is a great way to save some money by buying remnants and using your scraps to add some sparkle to your quilt. Or do an ISO (in search of) here on the board and ask for scraps in navy blue or red or your color of choice.
Many of our quilters don't use their scraps and are happy to sell them for a low cost or pay them forward for the price of postage. This looks like a really fun project! Hugssssss and smilessss |
Wow! Dina, you have your work cut out for you, but the results will be beautiful!
