My top is too big for the design wall but you get idea don’t you?
Here’s a smaller version in Green and Purple without a border – I used 2 inch strips on this one. Use any two colors and pull out your scraps for this one.
Kay in Vancouver, WA sent me a photo of her quilt and wrote:
The quilt was made as a prayer quilt for our church. We are 5-10 ladies that meet every Tuesday for three hours to make prayer quilts. I pieced the top and the group sandwiched, put ties in and bound the quilt. When there will be a need for the quilt to find a home we will put the quilt out for the congregation to tie prayers into the ties. We think we have done over 80 so far and it has been truly a blessing for me to be a part of such an incredible ministry.

Thanks for an unique spin on homespun. The black is very striking with the plaids.

I just stumbled across your website and am enjoying looking at everything, especially your “Rail Quilts”. I just finished a Rail Fence for Quilt for Kids and loved the pattern. It was so fun to make and the process of putting it together was very enjoyable. I will certainly consider finding the time and make one for your charity quilts. If I could say one thing to any beginner quilters that are a little hesitate about attempting to make a “Rail” quilt, you will find that it is so much fun, and with all of the straight line seams, there are no seams to match up, making it a great beginner quilt. Thanks so much for sharing so many quilt patterns, and I am loving your website/blog.
