Rail Fence Variation

This rail fence variation is a good way of using up small strips of fabric - I combined the strips with a single background print, and made the contrasting fence sections slightly narrower than the background ones, which creates a nice effect. I can't remember what dimensions I used precisely, but for a 6" (finished) block, you could use a strip cut at 2" for the contrast and ones cut at 2 3/4" for the background. Or just play with it until you get something you like!
