This is to document my love of and obsession with fabric and quilts! The true, guilty story of buying "just a little bit more", of shopping at thrift stores for the extra large mens shirts to use in your next quilt..and yes..even eyeing up your best friends blouse wondering if she'd notice if you "borrowed" it and just how many 2 inch strips you could get out of it!

I LOVE log cabin blocks!!
See these?? This is JUST what happiness would look like if happiness did, indeed, have a look!! You can't look at log cabin blocks and not smile. Expecially if you are the one who just made all 36 of them and they are done and gorgeous!! Now, the only thing that would make these look better is for them to be in a top. That will be either tonight or tomorrow night. That gives me 4 nights to get it sandwiched, quilted and bound for the surprise party Saturday. I really must love my inlaws, because I have always wanted a log cabin quilt of my own and I am giving them this one!!
This is the layout I have chosen for my happy blocks:
So many wonderful layouts available for these blocks..so hard to choose, but this one just said "pick me...pick me!!". So, I did!

Absolutely STUNNING! Hum, maybe I should make a log cabin quilt. Yeah, after quiltville Christmas mystery, after Mystery for Relay mystery #12, after the dog quilt, after the blocks I won .... you get the picture! I should quit reading email and start quilting! I do like your log cabin a lot.
ReplyDeletelooks great, if you haven't started sewing it together yet, try rotate the center 4 blocks (number 2 and 3)you might beable to get a little spin to the star. sq 2 turns R twice, sq 3 turns R once.
ReplyDeletejust a suggestion, it looks great the way it is too. cw
I'm glad that you love the blocks again!They look great and the layout is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI Love that layout....
ReplyDeletePerfect......
Prayers, Bo
The good news about log cabins - you always have left-over strips to make more!!! Your in-laws are going to LOVE this quilt, it is a beauty! And I just know that someday you will make your very own log cabin. It is one of my favorite patterns too! Cheers! Evelyn
