Crooked Rail Fence- Monochromatic


I needed a wall hanging to go in my bedroom. I am doing a blue and brown theme and could not find anything for a corner wall. I really like the crooked rail fence design. Although I think they look a lot better with a multitude of colors, I was pretty happy the outcome of it in all blue. I am going to put a solid border on it to finish it off, I will post an updated photo when it is done.

This is a fairly easy quilt to make. I used 1.5 inch strips and sewed them together in groups of 8. Then I used a 6.5 inch square ruler tilted to the right or left to get the crooked effect. I followed instructions on this blog. It has step by step instructions and many photos of examples.
