Instead, I made a new quilt top based on a project I saw at retreat. All the fabrics I used I pulled from stash but I can't find anything at home to use for a border. I did a little shopping yesterday but didn't find anything yet.
I also started working on Mock Log Cabins blocks this week. For something I wasn't supposed to work on, I made 49 blocks. I took my containers of 1.5" cut strips and started cutting them to size. I'm having fun trying to achieve the light and dark sides of the logs while using a lot of color in the light sections. I only need 192 blocks to complete the quilt. LOL I think I'll do something else for a while, maybe...

absolutely love the round log cabin, very different.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, both of them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects, what a neat log cabin!
ReplyDeleteIsn't the log cabin block so wonderful and versatile?
ReplyDeleteNice job on all your log cabin blocks. I recently started a log cabin and I've really enjoyed the process of sewing on all of those logs. Need to get it out again. And, I like your orange and purple top. At least I'm pretty sure it is orange and purple!
ReplyDeleteTea, What is the unfinished size of your blocks on the last log cabin quilt? That appeals to me to use up some of my strips as well. Love them all!!
ReplyDeleteReally like the mock lock cabins! I'm gonna have to give those a try. The gold and purple are just stunning together and who doesn't need a little retail therapy from time to time :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing what we can accomplish when it seems we have little to no time. I love you mock log cabin and the wonderful roundness of the other log cabin blocks. As for finding border fabric... maybe make a scrapy border.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reply to my question. I'd like to try these for a change from my string blocks.
ReplyDeleteYour sewing room is really colorful!
