A quilt made by quilters in different places using the fence rail block and a Singer Featherweight sewing machine.
My new Featherweight.
Ria and Nat are both using vintage Featherweight machines. Mine is a new version of the old machine. 
Sewing with my new Featherweight is a joy. It weighs 11lbs like the original and is great to take to quilt group.
The blocks are laid out 2 light strips and 3 medium to dark strips.
All the strips are cut from scraps. Some date back to quilts and garments made in the 1980's.I found a box of little bits that needed to be used while cleaning out sewing room.
The zig zag pattern created by the placement of the blocks is called streak of lightening .
I'm looking forward to seeing how the scraps go together.

Hi Terry, great to see your Singer Featherweight! That is also a cuty!!
I LOVE featherweights!! ;))
Lovely blocks did you make! So nice to see that scrappy look!
I didn't know that it was called "streak of lightening"..... the name suites the block!
Have a nice day!
hi Terry, sorry to jump in quickly before, i could see what was going on so thought i'd play with it!
Your lightning quilt looks great, and the little Featherweight does the job well.
I saw a "New Home" Singer in Orange recently which had come from Orange in America and had found a 'new home' in Orange, NSW! But it wasn't for sale, pity. Hugz, Kaite
That Featherweight looks great Terry...where did you get it from...Perhaps I could do with one...Dzintra♥x
Hey Terry, good job on the "streak of lightening" blocks and good to have you joining us. I might have to make a second one using the scraps too. Love your featherweight. Yes me too, where did you get it from. Kit needs a new sewing machine! Hugs Nat
Terry,
You and Nat are such enablers, I am getting the itch to start a rail fence too, giggle. Love your colors and I can't wait to see it finished.
Blissfully Stitching,
Bobbie
