First, I want to thank everyone who has sent in blocks - my mailbox is stuffed every day!
Second, I want to let you know that I have decided to just call these quilts that will be donated to my local hospital Compassion Quilts. I think that sounds so much better!
Today I have two more rail fence finishes to share.
The first one is a lovely version with just the blocks alternating in direction. Do you see your blocks?
Here is another view of all those pretty blocks.
I really love this layout.
This quilt measures 50 x 60
On the back, I used more of the fabric I got on sale at Connecting Threads.
You can see the quilting I did on this quilt too.
The second finish, I chose a vertical layout of grouped blocks with some rust fabric from my stash.
Sorry about the bad indoor photo. I forgot to take the photos before it got dark outside.
Here is a shot of the entire quilt. I think this one finished at 55 x 60.
I quilted it with simple vertical lines. I also used more fabric from Connecting Threads - but this one is a lovely rust color.
I have many more of these quilts in the works so stay tuned if you want to see more!

The same block, but very different quilts. Both look great! Those will much appreciated by the recipients.
You always come up with the most interesting settings!!
Both of these quilts are gorgeous! Compassion quilts is a good name.
Compassion quilts is the perfect name. I love all the background options you have to go with the blocks, and it's awesome that your mailbox continues to be full every day. Wow!
Nice work on these--I really love the "rusty" one with that super quilting on it..Have a great weekend...hugs, Julierose
Love the blue/brown combo! Our Devo calls our donation quilts "encouragement quilts."
Those quilts are beautiful! Love the combination of blue and brown. The 'rusty' one is my favorite.
A tremendous response for you indeed, the hospital will be thrilled to receive the quilts.
Especially like the layout of the 1-2-3-2-1 columns quilt.
Compassion quilt. I love that! Congrats on getting two more to the finish line. I especially love the second one. Great layout and the rust solid fabric is just perfect. Great job! ;^)
Great finishes; but that rust one. . .well, it stole my heart!
Lovely finishes. I never stop to be amazed at how a simple block can be used in so many different ways. I love the Compassion Quilts title for your mission. I am happy to keep participating as you build this dream!!
Congrats on great finishes, love the second layout.
Hi Cynthia, I did see my blocks lol! I really love the layout of that second quilt. The vertical fabric really makes a difference! I hope that you don't mind if I use it, maybe, someday :-) Compassion quilts sounds lovely and I'm happy that I have a couple of mug rugs to remember them by. Thanks so much for your generosity! Have a great week.
Love both of these quilts - my favorite is the version in columns. But both are wonderful.
Do you plan to keep going with this color scheme and block or to change it up?
Compassion quilts - that is perfect!!
Those are both super great quilts!!! And all those lovely blocks - love them!!!
I really like that second quilt layout!!!
The second version is a cool layout!
These came out wonderfully. Great layouts. I have no clue what my blocks look like. Out of sight, out of mind! Are you going to do another block drive at some point?
They are both great, but I really love the different layout of the second one.
I love the second quilt with the vertical layout and the darker colors! I feel you on the stuffed mailbox ;)
