RSC-ing

I have been wanting to make this "Rail Fence" from Sujata Shah's
amazing book: "Cultural Fusion Quilts" for a long time....

So, &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
when I got those lovely teal chunk pieces from Wanda 
(click to visit her site) --
I thought I'd make a test block to see 
how I like the pattern and the sewing--- 
{as I've come to  discover-- that altho' I like the look 
of lots of blocks--sometimes the actual sewing puts me off--}
So it will be a new entry for RSC for March this week--
In making this block--I found that:

my first rotary long cut was really wonky--👾 
but the blocks did come together okay anyway...
BUT...................
I was unhappy with the choppy edges that resulted ..👀👿
💭💭💭
so,
I decided that for the 2nd block, I would mark the 
slight curve, and then use scissors to cut the layers
which I pinned--
and it worked out much better for me ... a bit more time, but
better results...

I have laid out my 2nd block now and ...
I think  the  challenge in making these will be choosing
colors to get that lace-y look I am trying to achieve...

Rotary cutting has become more and more
of a problem --especially through layers for me...
so I am using scissors whenever I can...

Here is the thread I've chosen to hand quilt "Maru-gata Kimmi"
                                      ↧↧↧↧↧↧↧

                        I think it will give just enough contrast without 
                                     being too bright...

I am linking up with Angela at super scrappy for my Saturday visit
to see what all the RSC-ers are up to....do drop in...;)))

Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse (happy to be able to sew a bit-euse)
