Checkerboard Rail Fence

I began making Bonnie Hunter’s checkerboard rail fence pattern in September 2023 with the idea of using up my stash of hand dyed fabric.

I thought that this project would be colorful and fun.

And it is!

The flimsy was completed in September 2024.

It took a year because I had joined a challenge group and worked through a project a month, so it was often set aside.

That’s okay. This is a hobby, not a job!

It has taken another year to get to the finish line. Partly procrastination. Partly life events (I am so far behind in reading all of the wonderful blog posts by internet friends, but I will get back into the swing of things).

And I have made it to the finish line!

The back is made from more hand dyes…so happy to use them up!

All quilted and bound!

I will wash it to get that wonderful texture that so many of us love!

Have fun and carry on!
