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 http://www.quilterscache.com/C/ChineseCoinsBlock.html or a log cabin quilt. http://www.quilterscache.com/L/LogCabinBlock.html |
Franie...I haven't got to the creative part...I can't seem to do that. I see all these beautiful quilts here and wander why I can't do something like that. I hope in time that I will be able to do that. Lisa

I think it would be pretty in a chinese coin quilt. I have a hard time with honeybuns. They are just too narrow for me.
