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 81/2" x 2" pieces Cut TWO 61/2" x 11/2" pieces dark grey fabric Cut TWO 81/2" x 21/2" pieces Light grey fabric pieces for curling rocks Dark grey fabric pieces for curling rocks red fabric Cut TWO 2" squares Cut ONE 61/2" x 11/2" piece Cut ONE 41/2" x 11/2" piece Cut ONE 21/2" x 11/2" piece yellow fabric Cut TWO 2" squares Cut ONE 61/2" x 11/2" piece Cut ONE 41/2" x 11/2" piece Cut ONE 21/2" x 11/2" piece Red fabric pieces for one curling rock block Yellow fabric pieces for one curling rock block white/background fabric Cut SIX 2" squares Cut TWO 51/2" x 11/2" pieces Cut TWO 21/2" x 11/2" pieces Cut TWO 11/2" squares In addition to the runner background there are a few more pieces: Cut ONE 121/2" x 101/2" piece Cut TWO 141/2" x 21/2" pieces Cut ONE 6" x 8" piece and subcut into FOUR - 11/2" 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 21/2" 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.
