So maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks. Our ward is doing several different groups and one of them is a quilting class. Yeah, I've quilted but this is different. It's patchwork art. It's meticulous and that is something I'm not good at. The plan was for a throw. That's a lot of work and a lot of money for a throw. I didn't want to spend that much money for something I didn't need to clutter my house soooo I opted to do a baby quilt. Since I have no baby (grand) in the foreseeable future I decided I needed to do two types so I had Risa come help me pick out the fabric since it seems she will most likely be first to utilize these creations. The pattern we are working on is the rail fence. It's pretty easy it's just hard not skimping on the steps but these are what I've got so far:
I really liked the pink and brown and the fabric was all meant to be matching so that was the easiest and it's coming together so cute.
BUT, this square goes with cute little froggies with a black background. It was harder to find the fabrics that went with the focus print but I'm loving working with these bright colors. They are so happy!
There are five rail squares and there will be 4 focus print squares. The rails are done now to cut out the focus print squares. Maybe I should get my housework done first. Hmmmm
So the moral of the story is- I'm learning to be patient and take the time necessary to make this turn out right and I seem to have plenty of time. haha

Mom, they look great!!! I'm so excited to use them...oh wait, that entails having a baby. Yeah, it might be awhile! Love you! Good job!
I love the bright colors. What size are the finished blocks?
The blocks are about 9 1/2 inches. You can't cut the focus print till you put them all together and figure out exactly what dimensions your blocks are. I'm not used to exactness.
