rail fence question
#21
I made a rail fence last year for my son and I used 4 colors: white, pale blue, medium blue and dark blue. I arranged the colors from lightest to darkest. But really, it's up to you and what you think looks best. The shades of purple will be nice.
I've attached a photo of my son's quilt.

Here's another suggestion. If you are strip piecing, cut your strips out and lay them out on a neutral surface in the order you think you want them. Lay some going in each direction and weave them like the finished quilt will look. If you don't like it you haven't sewed anything and you can still change it. Does that make sense?

I like it the way you've done it... I think the white in the middle puts more separation between the pink and green which makes them pop more.
When I want to see how a quilt will look, I 'draw' it up in MS Publisher (could also use PowerPoint). It's easy with squares and rectangles.

Love your quilt.
The beauty of rail-fence is there's so many different looks you can achieve.
Just finishing up this rail-fence.

Here's a picture of my very first quilt.
As you can see, I didn't lay the rail-fence in the traditional manner.
