fast growing vines

Hello all!
First time post and new (but zealous) gardener! I'm looking for some fast growing vines that will cover an ugly wooden fence. I like a plant with broad foliage and white, blue, or purple flowers. But I don't need flowers at all just something that will grow fast, has good coverage, and will look nice all year round. Ideas? Thanks!

Carolina Jessamine grows fast and has good coverage and is evergreen. It puts on nice bright yellow flowers in early spring. They can get quite large but are easy to prune.

Sometimes they need some help with going in the right direction so some twine may be in order until they get a foot hold.

I agree, Carolina Jessamine is a good vine.
So is Confederate Jessamine.
But Wisteria & Kudzu grow faster.
Orange trumpet & yellow trumpet grow fast, but the nick name is Cow Itch.
