Several years ago I made a rail fence quilt for a friend. I had no idea how to figure yardage or how many blocks I needed so I had quite a few leftover. I put them away and pretty much forgot about them. When I cam across them recently I decided they'd make a nice quilt for my Mom since her favorite color is blue. Since there weren't enough for the whole top I split the blocks diagonally and re-set them on point, then framed them with blue sashing. Still need to add the borders. What do you think?

I love your design, I am sure your mom will love it and if not I can give you my address

Grear Job

What a neat remake. These orphans have found a beautiful setting and a new home:)

How very cleaver, your doing a good job. I admire how people can make something completely different than the original pattern...

This is great and I like that you repurposed leftover blocks into another beautifu quilt! Your mother will love this.

Wonderful Job

I am also a huge fan of blue! And I love your design!
Your Mom will love it, too!
You did a really nice job on it!

I think quilters are at their most creative when they are short of fabric or blocks. Good job.

Love the design. Looks good.

very cool.

What a great idea!! You are quite creative. Let us see it when you put the sashing on.

I like that. I just might do this new pattern on purpose

very pretty....i always save those orphans....you just never know when you can use them for something!

That is so cool. Congrats

Very nice!

Love what you did to make the design work! Mom will love it!!

How lucky your Mom is going to be...you did a perfect job. Good thinking..I vote for blue border.

Yes, it will be a blue border. I'm using lots of blues that I have in my stash.
