So I'm making a rail fence for myself and was pulling fabric out of the box that I liked. I came up with 4 that I liked and measured them. One of them wasn't going to have enough (the light green) so I found another that would work well. Well I was cutting and I found that I was 3 pieces short on purple and 4 pieces short on yellow. I pulled out some other fabrics that I thought might work and cut them. Now I'm not so sure.
As these were purchased forever ago and I know I won't be able to find them again, I have to deal. So any ideas on placing the yellow and purple? I have 2 ideas but don't really like either that much

idea 1, the other odd purple piece is in the bottom left corner but it was cut off

a somewhat better view of idea 1, the yellow checkerboard is down the center

I was looking at my scraps and the little pieces that were left over and found that if I sew them all together I would have enough. Would this look weird? But I feel that it would look better than the new fabrics. Because I really don't like that purple. Well, I like it, just not in this quilt

i piece my scarps together all the time to get enough fabric for a project. i am notorious for running short of fabric. once you quilt it ... you hardly notice the pieced fabric. good luck. happy quilting.
