Crazy pieced blocks.............

I started making red crazy pieced blocks last year and have worked on them a couple times since then.  I'm kind of between projects with all of the holiday preparations so I started to work on some more at night.



Here is a block that is large enough to trim with my 8.5" square ruler.









I try not to have any seam too close to the edge of the block.














I will save some of the larger pieces trimmed off and throw away the rest.









I finished these 3 blocks the first night I worked on them










I made 5 more blocks last night.









Here they are trimmed.









I had 2 more started but I am running out of variety of scraps to work with so I will cut a few pieces off yardage.

    Oh, I love when you go crazy- piecing that is. And red is my favorite color. What fun.

    I have 10 made, but put them away for now. Need to work on them again. They are addicting. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Wanda. Chris

    I love crazy piecing, but it is surprising how much time it takes to make each block.

    I want to roll in those reds. Red has that effect on me.

    I've been trying to think what I was doing on the 21st. This was one fun post to see. Anyway I'm glad I was checking older posts tonight and saw this one. Love those crazy pieces of reds sewn together to make one gorgeous block.
