Happy New Year! I’m so excited for another Stash Bee year!
My word for 2025 (yes, I’m one of those) is FINISH. I think I have an addiction to starting projects….I’m just not very good at finishing them! LOL. After suffering a BIG move in 2024, I realized I have way too much stuff and way too many WIPS. So, I decided to have my Stash Bee mates help to finish one of the quilts I started.
This month we will be completing a HAPHAZARD BLOCK inspired by MY POPPY. You can view her version and tutorial HERE . I altered the dimensions of her block to create a 12” block.
This is super easy and super fun! Enjoy the process &
I can’t wait to see your blocks!
Fabric: Let’s keep this light & bright! Any color is fine with the exception of super dark colors, red, brown, grey and black. Here’s some color inspiration (but no brown).
So let’s go:
Cut (1) 7.5” square from low volume/white fabric.
Pick a juicy color and cut (4) 3” strips from 4 different fabrics in that color line. I cut all my strips at about 13” to make it easier, but you can get away with making three of the strips a little shorter.
Sew the strips around the center square using a 1/4” seam.
I squared my block off after each strip was added.
The block should measure around 12.5”. Press.
Now comes the fun part! Cut the block in half twice (6 1/4”)
Now turn each piece so that the center square is in the corner.
Sew the 4 pieces together.
The block should measure 12”.
Please don’t worry if it’s a little wonky - I’m okay with that!
I love the scrappy cross that this creates!
Please let me know if you have any questions and
just have fun with this!
Peace, Laura
