What do you do with these pieces?
I got a lot of these at a garage sale last week. These were in a little baggie just waiting to be sewed together. The owner passed away and her church had the most amazing sale I have ever seen. You should have been there!
I think it some kind of fence rail. How do you put them together?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't think it's a rail fence. I agree with ragamuffin, who encouraged you to play with the pieces as you would a jigsaw puzzle (overlapping by 1/4", of course) until you discover what the previous quilter had in mind - or (better yet) something that works and pleases you!

This is what I see in these shapes. Hope this helps.
I created a block showing where I think the pieces go. Unfortunately it comes up as an Adobe file. Hope you can open it. If you can't then send me a PM and I'll try to send it to you directly in another format.

I'd make a crazy scrap quilt ..... stitching other fabrics on each side until I have a block the size I want it, then stitch blocks together or do a quilt-as-you-go technique. Kids would love those quilts. Or make them mug rug size for remembering past days. Great find!

The pieces with the diagonal cut can be combined with white or a solid to make a rectangle. I saw a quilt done this way, but don't remember how it all went together. Had taken a picture with my phone, but when the phone died my pictures didn't transfer to my new phone.
