RSC25: January - pink

RSC25 - January: pink

Not much this week, I'm pretty distracted.

Here's a block built using 2 1/2" strips, variously called 
Split Rail Fence or Disappearing Rails.
First, sew up two squares and cut diagonally ...

... and rearrange.  The resulting block is 10" finished.  I'll aim for 35 -- a 5 x 7 layout would give a decent size donation quilt.

The assembled blocks look complicated but are quite easy to sew.  
Diagonal edges, though, so spray starch is helpful.

And then these little corner units using leftover 2 1/2" bits. 
Quick, but small.  
I'll need to make a LOT of them to ever get to an actual quilt.
