Default Leader Ender Challenge

Is any one else doing the Bonnie Hunter Summer Challenge?

http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2017/...enge-rail.html

Here is my attempt at this fun project. My hardest challenge is pressing the seams in the right directions so they all nest properly and being sure the four patch strip is turned in the right direction for nesting. I am having fun with this one.

Lets see what everyone is doing. I would love to see pictures and your best tips for doing this one.

A lot of fabric selection went into this. First I wanted to use my scrapocalypse pile for the rails and make it really scrappy. I didn't like it. Then I tried making the rails in each direction the same. I didn't like that either. I settled on a more uniform look and all rails are the same.

Please add your own pictures here for everyone to enjoy.
peace

Very pretty! I don't do leaders and enders because I get distracted and end up working on it to see what it looks like finished. The work I should be finishing gets neglected.

Looking good! Have you really done enough sewing to have that much accomplished as a Leader/Ender project? I think you must be like me.. and just have to see what it's going to look like. (Tartan mentioned the same above).....

I am thinking of doing it, but that is as far as it has gotten so far. I enjoy doing appliqué and so don't have a huge project of piecing to work on at the moment where I could use the leaders/enders.

I've spent two days cutting out the strips from my scraps and it doesn't look like I have touched the scrap pile lol. Haven't started on the squares yet.

Even though BH is the leader-ender queen, I am not doing this as a L&E. I picked the fabrics and sewing as a whole project.
