Need help with measurements please
Hope someone can help me because I feel very math challenged right now.
If I was to make a rail fence quilt sewing 5 strips, 2 1/2" each together, what width would I cut it to make a square block?
I was thinking 10" but not sure and would like someone to explain please.

I usually think of the finished size of a strip and then add up the number of strips. I do a lot of quilt design on EQ7 so you have to when drawing think of the finished size. Sew the strips together, press and cut the same length as the final width of your strip. Doesn't matter on a Rail Fence if you blcoks are a little bit short or long.
