Suggestions wanted
Decided to clean my quilt room today and after I was done I found some cute juvenile fabric I never knew I had so I decided to make a quilt for my grandbaby. I am going to use a split rail fence design. My question is do you think the way I have the colors set for the rails would work or would you switch them up at all. I haven't made a rail fence in years. Another question, do you sew all your strip sets together then press or do you press between. I remember the last time I made a rail fence I had a hard time getting my strip sets to finish out at 6-1/2" .
Thanks!!

Good choices.
F&P always point out that if the fabric is not pressed before you start, you are asking for trouble. After I have all the blocks sewn I press again and check for size before I assemble, although with prepressing, that is not much of a problem.
BTW, I think a stash of juvenile prints is a good idea. I use mine for family and for give aways.
