This week we are making rail fence blocks. All cutting
instructions are for the full width of fabric.
Quilt of Valor:
Cut 6 strips 2 ½” wide in each of
fabrics 2, 3 and 4. Sew the strips together with fabric 4 in the middle. You
will have 6 strip sets.
Sub-cut these into 9 ½ blocks for a total of 24 blocks.
The blocks will be 6 ½ x 9 ½.
Veteran’s Quilt:
Cut 4 strips 2” wide in each of
fabrics 2, 3 and 4.
Sew the strips together with fabric 4 in the middle. You
will have 4 strip sets.
Sub-cut these into 6 ½ blocks for a total of 24 blocks.
The blocks will be 4 ½ x 6 ½.
Press the seams any way you prefer. It will not matter when
we assemble the quilt.
Just to prove to you... I AM Keeping UP!!!
Here are my strips:
I chained sewed them all together while watching an episode of Drop Dead Diva...THAT is a first for me. Usually I get up and wander around.... this time I forced my self to stay seated!
And Ta -Da - My blocks!!!
