Day 2 QAL

Welcome to Day 2! Did you get all your pieces cut? If you just joined us, don't worry, there's time to catch up. Check out the previous postings for additional information. This is a quick easy quilt and a great stash buster. When I'm stressed or need to zone out a bit from news overload, I like to sew. I love projects like this because I can mindlessly chain sew without putting too much thought into it. . 

Here's what you need:

5 1/2 yards worth of scraps

3 1/2 yards for your background fabric

Finished Size 84" x 100" 

Day 1 - Cutting

Day 2 - Sewing

Day 3 - Assembly of the Quilt

Let's Get Started!

Let's get started! Today we will piece together the smaller Rail Fence Block. Easy peasy…… 

~NOTE~ There is no written pattern for this... just the blog postings with directions.

You will begin using your stack of 2 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangles from your fabric stash, aka all the scrappy stuff.

Begin with two strips right sides together and sew along the long edge, 1/4" seam. I like to chain sew.... make 120 of the two rectangle strips. Remember to keep it scrappy and mix your fabrics up.

Add a rectangle strip along the long end of the two rectangle sections, right sides together. Again, I like to chain stich and listen to an audiobook as I sew along.

Iron your Rail Fence Blocks. If needed, trim up to measure 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" squares.

 So put on your favorite music, an audiobook, and start sewing away. By the end of the day you will have a beautiful stack of Rail Fence Blocks.

See you tomorrow, we will work on piecing the quilt together.

Happy quilting!
