I got some honeybuns wandering if I could use them for a rail fence? I am new to all of this and it says the strips should be 21/2 in. but honeybuns are just 11/2. If there are any other suggestions I am open to them also. Thanks in advance for all your help. I find I am spending lots of time here and learning alot by just reading the posts. :)

You can make a rail fence using any size strips, you'll just get different sized blocks, depending on which width you use.

I'm trying to figure out how to use my Honeybuns too:

jelly rolls are usually 2 1/2 inch strips.

Any size is fine as long as it is consistent. If not go wild and creative!

Yes, railfence would work and be simple and stunning. I love scrappy quilts and you probably have a nice selection there with lots of pretty fabrics. Whatever pattern you choose, you will have some fun making it!

You could also use the 1.5" strips in a Roman Square quilt http://www.quilterscache.com/R/RomanSquareBlock.html

or a Chinese Coin quilt
