Strip Pieced Rails and Chain
Supplies needed:
12 fat quarters
1 5/8 yards background fabric ( this includes enough for inner border
5/8 yard binding fabric
1 yard outer border
Cutting instructions
Separate the 12 fat quarters into 2 sets of 6 each - Set A and Set B
SET A:
From each fat quarter cut one 8 1/2" strip and one 2 1/2" strip
They will be approximately 22" long (this is approximate, as all fat quarters are not the same measurement)
SET B:
From each fat quarter cut one 4 1/2" strip and one 6 1/2" strip
(again about 22" long)
BACKGROUND: (Be sure your background fabric is of high contract to the other fabrics.This will allow the chain to stand out.)
Cut 8 strips 2 1/2" wide
Cut each of these on half (will be about 22" long)
You will end up with 16
Other cutting instructions will be available Saturday.
It doesn't matter , color wise, which fat quarters make a set. This is a scrappy looking quilt.
