Layout 8 for the #scrappycrownalong

February 26, 2015 by persimondreams 1 Comment

Pip and I have a super busy day.  I’m  not sure about you but if I have to leave the house and drive into town I try to get as much done as possible.  This morning we’re heading to the post office so I can apply for a new passport (mine expired).  This year is our 10th anniversary; we’re not sure where we’re going but we don’t want to be limited because our passports are expired.  Then to drop off some quilts for the Sun Prairie Quilt Show.  At lunchtime we’re meeting up with a good friend of mine whom I miss a ton!  Before we head out to start our day, I’m going to share with you the eighth block layout for the #scrappycrownalong. Fullscreen capture 2112015 72900 AM To make this block – you need to make

  • 6 – 10” Crown of Thorn Blocks
  • 12 – 5” Crown of Thorn Blocks

Fullscreen capture 2112015 72305 AM Here are the first eight 30” block layouts in EQ7. It’s so exciting to see there are only four to go!  We’re 2/3 of the way there! IMG_7673 This is my actual Block 8.  I used four 5” crown of thorns block along with 6 half square triangle blocks and … But wait!  Do you see that I used a new 5” block in the upper left and lower right corners!?  That means you get a free little tutorial and another alternative to making 5” Crown of Thorns Blocks.

The Crown Block

Cutting Instructions

Crown Fabric

IMG_7647 2 – 1.5” x 3.5” strips
2 – 1.5” x 1.5” squares

Background

IMG_7648 2 – 1.5” x 5.5” strips
2 – 1.5” x 3.5” strips
5 – 1.5” x 1.5” squares

Directions

IMG_7649 On the wrong side of four of your 1.5” square background fabrics draw a diagonal line. IMG_7650 Place the squares with the lines on them right sides together with your two 1.5” x 3.5” strips of crown fabric in the orientation shown above.  IMG_7651 Stitch right along the lines you drew.  This is what your two strips should look like at this point. IMG_7653 Trim the corners off a 1/4” from the seam you just stitched. IMG_7654 Press open towards the corners.  Now layout your fabrics like this.  IMG_7656 The next step is to sew your three 1.5” squares together so it goes crown, background, crown and makes a new 1.5” x 3.5” strip.  At this point you have three 1.5” x 3.5” strips in your center. IMG_7657 Sew the top strip to the center strip and press towards the top. IMG_7658 Next sew the bottom strip on and press towards the bottom. IMG_7659 Add the two 1.5” x 3.5” background strips to each side of your center block. Press towards the strip. IMG_7660 And finish off by adding your 1.5” x 5.5” background strips to the top and bottom of your block.  Press towards the strips and voila!  You have a fun little crown block to use in place of the 5” Crown of Thorns blocks.  mosaic7f4c7e50b5ec277cd2e92f7ac8719282705b0438 Here are my eight blocks laid out in my quilt so far!  This is just so cool and I’m loving how the ‘other’ five inch block options are adding even more fun to the quilt! Layout 9 will be posted on Monday so stop by again soon!  Just four more layouts to go and we’ll have enough blocks for a king size quilt!  Wowza!!!!
