These block challenges are so much fun and I can't wait to share Sneak Peek #1 this week of the Rail Fence Block Challenge. In case you are catching this post first, here is a link back to last week's post where I revealed my fabric pull for the challenge.
Here is a first glance at my block!
This week I've been busy sewing 6 "rails" to make my rail fence block. I have several blocks already at this stage with several more to go. And yes, I am making a dent in my autumn stash bin. If you are wanting to stitch along with me, I have precut 2-1/2" strips in an autumn colorway available in my Etsy shop. They are very similar to the fabrics I'm using.
If you aren't super comfortable sewing together 2-1/2" precut strips, I put together a quick Watch Me Work video where I share a lot of tips and tricks about working with 2-1/2" precut strips.
If this video was helpful to you, be sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel to see more of my videos. The fun of a challenge like this is to see what everyone is doing. Here is the list of Instagram handles of the participating designers. Each of us are sharing a sneak peek of our blocks today - Monday March 15th.
