Make the Runner:
Step 1 To make Block A, lay out (1) 3-1/2" Rosebud square, (2) 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" Tangerine pieces, and (2) 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" Tangerine pieces as shown.
Step 2 Sew the 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" Tangerine pieces to opposite sides of the 3-1/2" Rosebud square, and then sew the 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" Tangerine piece to the top and bottom. Make a total of (6) A blocks.
Step 3 To make a B block, lay out (1) 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" Burnt Sienna piece, (2) 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" Pencil Yellow pieces, and (2) 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" Pencil Yellow pieces as shown.
Step 4 Sew the 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" Pencil Yellow pieces to opposite short sides of the 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" Burnt Sienna piece. Sew 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" Pencil Yellow pieces to the top and bottom. Make a total of (6) B blocks.
Step 5 To make a C block lay out (1) 1-1/2" x 4-1/2" Raspberry piece, (2) 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" Lipstick pieces, and (2) 1" x 5-1/2" Lipstick pieces as shown.
Step 6 Sew 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" Lipstick pieces lengthwise to opposite sides of (1) 1-1/2" x 4-1/2" Raspberry piece. Sew 1" x 5-1/2" Lipstick pieces to the top and bottom. Make a total of (6) C blocks.
Step 7 To make a D block, lay out (1) 2-1/2" Tomato square, (1) 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" Sangria piece, (1) 2-1/2" Sangria square, (1) 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" Sangria piece, and (1) 2-1/2" x 5-1/2" Sangria piece.
Step 8 Sew the 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" Sangria piece and 2-1/2" Sangria square to opposite sides of the 2-1/2" Tomato square. Sew the 2-1/2" x 5-1/2" Sangria piece to the top and the 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" Sangria piece to the bottom. Make a total of (6) D blocks.
You should now have (24) 5-1/2" square blocks.
Step 9 Lay out the blocks into (3) rows of (8) blocks each as shown. You'll be adding a White frame or Silver frame to alternating blocks. Tip:Pay attention to the orientation of each block as you add the strips and then position it back on your design wall.
Step 10 Sew 1" x 5-1/2" White strips to opposite sides of 12 blocks. Sew 1" x 6-1/2" White strips to the top and bottom.
Tip:White strips are added to sides first and then top/bottom, while Silver strips are added to top/bottom first and then sides--this eliminates any bulk issues when the blocks are joined together. The finished White framed block measures 6-1/2" square.
Step 11Sew 1" x 5-1/2" Silver strips to the top and bottom of 12 blocks. Sew 1" x 6-1/2" White strips to the sides.
The finished Silver framed block measures 6-1/2" square.
Step 12 Sew the blocks together into rows and join the rows to complete the runner top as shown.
Step 13Layer the backing right side down, batting, and runner top right side up. Baste the layers and quilt as desired. Trim backing even with runner top.
Step 14Use the (4) 2-1/4” x WOF binding strips to bind the quilt.
