Rainbow Rail-Fence

I'm trying to use up my stash before I start a new project.  As I have so many bright colours, this is where I will start. So my plan starts with the idea below. The shaded rails will be solids, the middle rail will be the same shades with a pattern or white, and the white rails will be well... white.

I don't think it matters if my middle rail matches the others exactly, as long as they are a similar shade.  In fact, the solids don't have to match exactly either, as long as they tone in.

To make a cot quilt, I will need 20 blocks, 5 long and 4 wide, so the finished size will be 5 foot x 4 foot.


My stash has been organised into drawers, the middle drawer contains strips of 2 1/2 inches. I'm diving into that drawer. 

Wish me luck.
