Today’s post will be short and sweet to give you time to do the cutting of your fabric for the Curling Rocks Quilted Runner.

There’s almost more cutting than sewing to do for this project! Let’s get started.

To make 2 curling stone blocks cut the following pieces from each fabric specified:

Light grey fabric

Cut TWO 2″ squares
Cut TWO 8 1/2 x 2″ pieces
Cut TWO 6 1/2 x 1 1/2″ pieces

Dark grey fabric

Cut TWO 8 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ pieces

Red fabric

Cut TWO 2″ squares
Cut ONE 6 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ piece
Cut ONE 4 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ piece
Cut ONE 2 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ piece

Yellow fabric

Cut TWO 2″ squares
Cut ONE 6 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ piece
Cut ONE 4 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ piece
Cut ONE 2 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ piece

White/background fabric

Cut SIX 2″ squares
Cut TWO 5 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ pieces
Cut TWO 2 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ pieces
Cut TWO 1 1/2″ squares

In addition to the runner background there are a few more pieces:

Cut ONE 12 1/2″ x 10 1/2″ piece
Cut TWO 14 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ pieces
Cut ONE 6″ x 8″ piece and subcut into FOUR – 1 1/2″ x 8″ strips

Backing fabric

Cut into ONE 14″ x 34″ piece

Binding fabric

Since you’re in cutting mode, why not cut your binding strips now too!

Cut 2 1/2″ strips the width of the fabric.

{If you know you like your binding thinner on runners, cut strips your desired width. For me, cutting the binding this size works}

That’s it for today! All the cutting is done for the Curling Rocks Quilted Runner. Next post we’ll be making the curling rocks – or stones. What do you call them? Until then, keep your pieces together!
