Rail Fence Checkerboard


Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2018 has just started. Today is the first day! I had plans to start a few new things. Maybe next week. 
First I must finish something.
I have worked very very hard on this Rail Fence Checkerboard quilt top this past week. I first had to go back to making a few more blocks. I thought I had enough. But no. See all the blank spots at the bottom? 



I needed 6 more blue blocks. I also needed at least 4 more of all the other colours except Purple. 


So I ended today with a few rows starting to get sewed to each other. I am seeing the end soon. I have my rows draped on the long arm rail. These rows are taking forever. I am pinning almost every inch of a 96" row. 

Over at Soscrappy she is hosting the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. check it out.

  5. This patttern is so striking with the checkerboard strip. I admire you for taking on this project which needs such precise piecing of the b/w.
