This One Doesn't Have A Name
I saw a picture of a quilt similar to this and decided to make one like it. There is no pattern, just a random size triangle sewn on to the bottom corner of each square. I raided my bin of five inch squares that I've been cutting for the past 25 years for the light colours.
There wasn't enough of the light blue fabric for the back, so I added a strip of something else on one side.

Rail Fence By Linda H.
Linda recently finished this lovely quilt. This is what she said about it,
"This is the Rail Fence quilt made of red, pink, orange and yellow scraps. The pattern came from "No Scrap Left Behind" by Amanda Jean Nyberg. It was called Scrap Happy Rails. The colours are actually brighter than the photo would indicate."
Rail Fence is one of my favourite quilt designs. Linda did a great job!

Stash Buster 2025 Is Quilted And Bound
I belong to a Stash Buster Facebook group. Every year they host a Stash Buster challenge where they pick a block pattern and everyone makes their version of a quilt with it. The deadline is December 31 to have the top completed, mine was done before that. It took some time to quilt, though, because I ruler quilted it with Baptist Fans.
The wide backing fabric came from Connecting Threads. I wish I could have an entire bolt of it, I love the newspaper print design.
