streak of lightening quilt

18 of 45

Here's another quilt made by Jenny that's a rail fence pattern which makes a streak of lightening design.  Super easy to make, just cut 2 1/2 inch strips and 6 1/2 inch blocks.  Sew the strips together with the same orientation for each block.  Then lay them out so you have the pattern you want, here she chose the white as the streak of lightening, or zig zag across the quilt.  It goes together really quickly because of the 6 1/2 inch blocks and those can be fun prints like these butterflies or a solid block or anything you like.  This quilt is really fun for a baby shower and super quick to make.  You need 4 colors or you can make it scrappy.  We make a lot of scrappy quilts in our group and it's nice to have quilts that look great no matter what you use.
