Such a wonderful tutorial Cathy. I like the look of that ruler too.....I must go and check out some quilting items, I think. My blocks are already in the mail....they are four strips and all I can say I am sure I will improve with practise.

Hi Ladies

have been searching for a easier/better instruction for a 9" block and I found one here
http://www.oocities.org/nc_quilters/railfence.html

for three strips in each section, this site recommends starting with 5" x 2" strips ................ am off to have a play and see which one works best

awesome thanks CATHY, I was just thinking the other day 2 inch strips and such with seem allowance should make it ok, glad to get confirmation... got some fabric coming in the mail, but I can start of cathys already because I have autumn tones on hand

thanks ladies - I am glad it helped - it certainly was a great exercise for me - I am not confident when dealing with numbers/maths/inches

That is a lovely tutorial, Cathy, I too like that quilters ruler - might have to go in search of one of those.
