Fence Row Quilt Pattern - Easy Vintage Quilt Blocks
Here is a pattern that has several names. Moving West by the
pioneer settlers had a great deal to do with the changing of quilt
names, thus reflecting the trend of history. In one section this
design was called “Fence Row”, and in another, “Shoo Fly”. It’s a
nine-patch variation that is closely related to “Duck and
Ducklings.”

After setting all pieced and plain blocks together, place quilt-tip on flat, smooth surface (such as the floor). Place sheet of wrapping paper under quilt (extending out along edge) and pin in place. For fill-ins, trace off sections (one-half block (#1) on top or bottom of quilt; corner (#2); and side (#3)). Cut out and use as pattern pieces. Place these patterns on white material and allowing 1/4” seams, trace off and cut out six of #1, four of #2 and eighteen of #3. Stitch in place along edges to complete the quilt-top.
