Garden Fence

I first played with this block last Summer when I was inspired by the pillows on the cover of Martha Stewart Living. Shannon from Pieceful Quilter named it "Garden Fence" and the name stuck. Well, my top's finally done and I'm happy with the color combination of golds, yellows, grays and white. (how do you spell gray - grey or gray?)

This cold weather and snow is continuing to ruin my photography, so here's the best I can do. (And it requires moving furniture).

It's a super easy quilt to make and I think it would be awesome in lots of color combinations (Gray and pink, gray and aqua...)

Here are the cutting dimensions for one block that finishes at 10" (10 1/2" unfinished):

Center square: 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"

Outer rectangles: 4 - 2 1/2" x 3" and 4 - 2 1/2" x 5"

White: 2 - 1 1/2" x 4 1/2"; 2 - 1 1/2" x 6 1/2"; and 4 - 1 1/2" x 2 1/2"
To piece the block:

• Sew the white 4 1/2" and 6 1/2" rectangles to opposite sides of the center square.
• Sew the white 2 1/2" rectangles between 2 outer rectangles; add these to the center pieced square.

I simply added 1" finished (1 1/2" unfinished) white strips for sashing. Easy! Easy!
