Riley Blake Rosette Rail Fence Quilt

What is Being Made

The Riley Blake Rosette Rail Fence is an intermediate-level quilt pattern designed by Gerri Robinson. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a finished quilt measuring 64" x 64", making it a substantial bed-sized project suitable for quilters with foundational skills and experience.

Quilting Technique and Construction Method

This quilt employs the rail fence block construction method, a classic quilting technique that builds visual interest through the strategic arrangement of fabric strips and rectangles. The pattern uses a strip-piecing approach combined with rectangular sub-cutting to create the characteristic linear design elements that define the rail fence style. Quilters will work with right sides together when joining pieces, a fundamental quilting technique that ensures proper fabric alignment and seam placement.

The design incorporates a center panel feature with corner squares, adding dimensional complexity to the overall composition. The pattern includes virtual block and layout diagrams to guide construction, though the final appearance may vary depending on the specific fabric selections used.

Fabric and Materials

The Rosette Rail Fence pattern is designed to showcase Riley Blake's Cherry Bomb Gem Stones Bright collection. The pattern requires:

• 1 Rosette Panel in Cloud or Black (P10870)

• Fabric cut into strips measuring 2½" width of fabric (WOF)
• Rectangles cut to 2½" x 6½" dimensions (pieces C and D)
• Corner squares measuring 4½" (piece E)

All measurements provided in the pattern include the standard ¼" seam allowance necessary for accurate piecing.
