For strip piecing use 2-1/2” strip cutter to cut WOF strips.

For both fabrics - A – 4 @ 2-1/2” x 4-1/2” rectangles
OR use 1 strip @ 2-1/2” x 19” for strip piecing.

Piecing the Spinning Rails Quilt Block

1. Using the A patches, make 4 rail fence units shown.

 


For strip piecing, sew a light and dark strip together lengthwise. Press the seam. Cut the strip set into 8 segments @ 4-1/2”. There will be about 6” left for the scrap box.

The 8 segments will make 2 identical 8” finished blocks.
