Thanks, Angela, for the directions for this block! They can be found HERE.
I think I might like this block better set straight rather than on point, but I can change my mind about that later in the year if I want.
Here are my three orange blocks for May, including a redo of last week's Bearclaw Bowtie. I like it much better than the first one I made!
I also finished up an orange Tiny Rail block.
I've made three of these, each using different orange scraps.
And now I have 20 Tiny Rails blocks! I started making these blocks as a way to use up the smallest scraps I have. There are 50 (1.5 x 2.5 inch) pieces in each block, so 1000 little pieces all together!
I'm still thinking I need 30 of these 10.5 inch blocks to make a good size lap quilt - it will be about 50 x 60. So 10 more to go!

Looking good!!
ReplyDeleteI just love the rail blocks they look like something I would make :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, your tiny rail blocks look so good all together! Yummy!!!
ReplyDelete1000 pieces! That really sounds impressive! When the whole quilt is done you can tell the recipient exactly how many thousands of pieces are in it and boggle their mind :)
ReplyDeleteI like your rail fence blocks... especially the one set on point :). I'm impressed with the 1000 pieces (so far) one... I can't imagine doing something like that myself, although I might have at some point - just didn't count the pieces and do the math. I don't know about you but I'm ready to leave the orange and move on to a new color. :)
ReplyDeleteTONS of pieces - sometimes it's just better not to know how many pieces go into a project. If I know at the start (i.e., cut 840 2.5" squares.....) I get really dismayed. Just lead me blindly into the dark night, lol! I like the first block set on point, myself :)
ReplyDeleteTiny Rails... Love, love, LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love all of your blocks. You are making a lot of progress. Nice eye candy!
ReplyDeleteIt's so inspiring to see all your tiny rail blocks together! What a great use for small scraps.
ReplyDeleteGreat orange blocks Diann. I love how your rail fence quilt is coming along!
ReplyDeletethe rail fence is going to be wonderful in rainbow
ReplyDeleteYour rail fence blocks look fabulous all together. I love reading about others doing REC as it is so inspiring to see all the different designs appearing each month. This is my first time taking part so I have started out doing two easy blocks. But now I have more ideas of what to tackle next year!
ReplyDeleteI love the rail fence blocks! So cute!
ReplyDeleteYour rail fence blocks are amazing. The TT one is really nice as you have some beautiful orange scraps. Grouping all the orange RSC blocks really lets you see how cute they are!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou've got some great RSC projects in the works. Your rain fence blocks are going to make a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe orange is so pretty! Seeing your rail progress is kind of like reading about one of Crazy Mom Quilts scrappy quilts! I will watch from afar as I have a hard time with tiny scraps - lol!
ReplyDeleteOMG Diann. those rail fence blocks have to be addictive. They are so fast and fun and they look so lovely.
ReplyDeleteI just swatted away three squirrels. And I am tempted again.
I love love love the layout. I am sure you will complete the remaining blocks in the block of an eye.
