1 - chain piecing patches of strips, light/dark with medium into 2-patches
2- chain piecing the 2 -patches into 11 inch strips ( adding extra bits on as necessary)
3- pressing the strips (that took a while!)
4- chain piecing 2 strips together
5 - Randomly deal out 5 x double strips (below) but weeding out duplicate fabrics ( not had to do too much of this so far - have over 200 different ones!). Sew together
( it will be 4 x 5 ten inch blocks). What do you think? Rail Fence or Bricks?
A -'Rail Fence'

Hard to choose I rather like the 'rail fence', but the 'bricks' looks good and I especially like it when done with parallel lines of quilting - depends what over all effect you're after.
Rail Fence makes a better construction I think - it's what I'd pick for myself. Looks like fun!
Bricks get my vote - possibly staggered?
What a jolly project! Relaxing and productive at the same time...
definitely rail fence!
I think the seams between blocks in the brick arrangement are distracting. (If you want parallel rows of bricks across your whole quilt, why do it in blocks at all? Just sew strips together the whole width of the quilt and be done a lot faster.)
