This is my version of the Rail Fence pattern, in only 2 colors. It truly is a cultural fusion, as I used indigos from South Africa and 1800's reproduction fabrics for the lights/whites.
Here is a closeup of one block, so you can see the fabrics better.
Due to the narrower width (35 inches) of the indigo fabrics, I had to make smaller blocks. Instead of the 16 inch blocks in the book, my blocks are 14 inches.
I found this pattern very easy to understand and very easy and fun to make. Thank you for the wonderful book, Sujata!
There is more information and more photos on my blog post.
Happy quilting!
