November at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge means it is time to start assembling those piles of blocks into quilt tops. This week I pulled out the many little (3" finished size) Rail Fence blocks that I started making early in 2022. Before I could start joining them together, I needed to plan my layout, which I did with the help of EQ7.
I've started by joining the blocks together into groups of 4. The tricky part was figuring out which colors needed to go together into each group. Here's one of my first 4-block segments.

I joined groups of all of the color combinations, then tried them out on the design wall. This would be half of the total blocks in the quilt, so I still have plenty more blocks to stitch together. Actually, I've figured out that I need to make a few more blocks in some of the colors. Time to pull out those scraps again!
