Arrange into Rail Fence. 5 x 6.
center is 38x 45.5. Use remaining of larger piece for border and binding. I'm going with 4" cut. Final size should be 45 x 52.
3 days after work -
Day1 - cut and make strip setsDay 2 - subcut and make centerDay 3 - add bordersThis leaves day 4 & 5 to baste, quilt and machine bind. (I respect y'all who handstitch bindings, but that's not me)
So if you have medium sized bits and need a quilt fast.
Please help me understand:
“make 6 strip sets”.
Question. how many strips am I to sew together ?
“cut into 8” blocks”
Question. blocks won’t be 8” square, will they ?
