Design Wall Monday

Since finishing Indigo Stars (picture to follow), I looked around my sewing room to see what other areas needed work.  I had a half a shelf full of flannel trimmings.  I like to use flannel on the back of baby and kids' quilts, but always have a few inches left over.  I saw a picture of a nice 
scrappy rail fence quilt, and thought this might work for the flannels.  
I began by cutting 2 1/2 inch strips, then into sets of four pieces 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch rectangles.  After cutting for a couple of hours, I began matching darker and lighter rectangles, then stitching them into blocks.
This is the first quilt centre, waiting to be stitched, and I have enough leftover blocks to make two more!

  1. Great way to use up your scraps. This is so cheery and cosy. I just may have to do this with my leftover strips. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Isn't is wonderful when you can use scraps and make something so lovely?
