Here were my corona colors
Oranges, apricot,ocean,navy,canary yellow,red,and celery
I chose 7 and made 10 inch squares roughly
I ironed them flat and stacked them right sides up seperating like colors
Place your ruler anywhere at an angle on the stack and cut
Hint you need a sharp blade
Seperate the stack
Place the top of one side at the bottom to shuffle the colors
Sew them back
Chain piece and dont worry too much about matching edges
We will trim later
Iron the stack keeping them in order and restacking them
You can now cut at another angle
Shuffle one side, rinse repeat by sewing
Ironing and stacking again
I had same colors so i shuffled 2 to the bottom of the stack
This is a very forgiving style of making crazy piecing so let your hair down and dont stress
The rules are have a sharp blade
And dont keep cutting thru the middle as that seam will be tough to cut
My squares i trimmed to 7.5 inches
Your measurement may be larger or smaller depending on your start size, seams and how many cuts
I cut my stack a total of 3x making 6 pieces of color
You can do as many times as you like
If you started with larger blocks you may want to cut 4 or 5x
I made 7 blocks........the same number of blocks you started out with
Because we have social seperation, my blocks will be seperated by a 2.5 strip
Then a 2.5 border i think
I am still playing with that part
And may have enough for 2 runners. One with 4 blocks and one with 3
As i play with my strips and layout I will know better what I want
In a day or two I should have the runner top done and will show you my end decision
All this stacking, sewing and ironing took me about 1 1/2 hours before work
And now my running crazy from corona table runner is ready to play with layout
To recap.......
I cut 7 squares ten inches each
My corona colors were celery, canary yellow, red, navy, orange,ocean,and apricot
After stacking, cutting and sewing i trimmed them to 7.5 inches
Now I will play with layout and borders and finish it up
Hope you have fun with it.
I know I did and it was really one days distraction from my other quilt projects.
Are you running crazy from corona?
Let us know so I can link up and we can all see
Neat blocks...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteWow, those turned out really nice. I look forward to seeing what everyone else is doing too. I'm working on some other time-sensitive projects so I'll just watch from the sideline.
ReplyDeleteI love how this looks! I'm going to see if I can do a few blocks.
