Celery or asparagus
With all the scariness of Corona and quarantines and supply issues I thought we could have a little fun.
I have a fun project in mind for us to do while in quarantine or social isolation
I named it Running crazy from corona.
Here is how it will work.....
We will be making a small table runner
Crazy quilt easy style
(Layering squares, making a cut, shuffling and resewing. Wash rinse repeat)
Using color names that start with the letters of corona.
So grab your stash
You are
Looking for 5 or more
Ten inch squares
Precut or you cut
Pick pretty cheerful colors that have names from the letters of corona.
For example.....c colors could be
Chartreuse, cherry,coral,coffee,celadon,canary yellow, clay
O colors can be orange, ocean, ochre
R colors. Rose, red, raspberry, robin,raisin,rain,rust
N can be navy, nut, neon, nude
A can be apricot, apple, azure, amber, amaranth, aqua, asparagus, amethyst
See? Fun already
Once you have your 5 or more squares ready to go, let me know and we will make the quick project
How fun to put a positive spin on such a scary negative event
Orange, apricots
I want to link to everyone as i dont have a Mr linky
And want to make sure we can all see everyones happy project
Here are 5 of my colors
I cut them literally in 10 min
Doesnt need to be fussy...i ripped them approx ten inches
If you want to use a larger square you can too
Celery, apricot,navy,canary yellow, red
I may add some orange and maybe a robin blue for a total of 7 to get variety
I will use more than 5 squares and you can too.
I was thinking 5 for the 5 things to remember....wash hands etc but that is flexible
So ARE YOU IN???
LET ME KNOW IN COMMENT BELOW THAT YOU ARE PLAYING.
Come back at 8 am for the details
It literally took me 1.5 hours and mine is ready to play with layout
I am going to be watching from the sidelines on this one. Looks interesting.
