I hope you are ready!! We make such awesome progress when we all get involved with making Quilts of Valor!! And I love that there are so many ways that a person can be involved....
One of my personal goals this year was to work through my 2 1/2 inch strips.... so this years block is based on 2 1/2 inch strips.... are you ready???
Here is the block:
Color way Number 1:
Color Way #2
Color Way #3
I had three different color ways because.... I kept finding more 2 1/2 inch strips!!! It was actually a blast!
UPDATED : Patterns for Zig Zag Rails and Don't Fence me In can now be found in my Etsy Store
