Two Rail Fence - Free Quilt Block

Two Rail Fence – MaryQuilts.com

 This quilt uses the two rail fence block just like the windmills quilt from yesterday but this time they are arranged in a zig zag design.  This layout is one that was published in the 1930's by Nancy Cabot and is often called London Steps.

Windmills - Free Quilt Pattern

 This quilt uses the two rail block to make interlocking crosses.  Use a jelly roll and one with a pattern to create the design.

This example has just one fabric pattern for each cross but you can also use the same colour scraps to make interlocking crosses as you can see from this very old and blurry photo from my own private quilt collection 🙂

Red white and blue scraps are perfect for this quilt that embraces the wonky.  Of course if you happen to have scraps that aren't red white and blue they will work just as well.
