Okay, this motivated me to get started cutting rails at 1 ½ " x 5 ½ " and I will do colour blocks like a rainbow setting. I saw one on the Canadian Quilters FB page that looked really pretty, so while I am cutting colours for my crayon baby quilt, I have got 4 colours cut to bag up for this project. Thanks for posting and inspiring me to get going!

The strips are cut 1.5 x 6.5" not 5.5"

I am not doing the one with the checkerboard, so I am okay with the 1 ½ x 5 ½ " cuts, whew! Mine is 4 coloured strips and one black. 1.5 x 5 = 7.5 minus 2. for the inside seams = 5.5 " right?

So glad there was no miss cuts 'cause then you have to create another quilt.

One of my friends does leaders and enders projects. She gets a lot of my scraps. I am not disciplined enough. My leader/ender is just a piece of scrap.

Wow your leader ender challenge looks great! Haven't attempted this - have other projects I'm working on, but would have loved to try it. May still at one point. I need to make a baby quilt and hope I can meet the challenge

Oh I love yours but I have a huge box of 1 1/2 inch assorted strips already cut when making various projects that need to be used so I guess mine will be a total scrappy one.
