Happy first day of spring, Robins!

With the warmer weather and the longer days, we are going to make a block that nods to the outdoors: rail fence. There seem to be a lot drab rail fence quilts on the internet giving brown a bad name, but I know you modern quilters can punch it up. Use a minimum of three ‘rails’.

Because this is a simple block, I want this rail fence to go around three sides of your partner’s top to-date. Please make the blocks sizable,  5″ to 7″, and remember to finish it with a scant 1/8″ all the way around to stabilize the seams.
