Welcome to Day 3! Did you get all your 6" squares constructed? 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. Today we will put the quilt together. I've been listening to my audio book and stitching away. Sure makes time fly by. I don't know about you but it's starting to feel like the twilight zone here. I'm not sure if I can tell you what day it is....

| Finished Size 84" x 100" |
Day 1 - Cutting
Day 2 - Sewing
Day 3 - Assembly of the Quilt
Let's Get Started!
~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" background rectangles and 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares from your fabric stash, aka all the scrappy stuff.
|
 |
| Iron your Rail Fence Blocks. If needed, trim up to measure 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" squares. |
 |
| Following the quilt layout diagram above, start constructing your quilt top. I like to chain sew everything together. Use your favorite method to put the quilt top together. Some of you might like to put it together in smaller sections or row by row. |
 |
| I've got a lot of pressing to do. Then add a border out of the background fabric. I'm putting a 2 1/2" border all around mine and then making a scrappy binding to go around the edge. |
