My big scrappy log cabins
Comments (17)Here are the 20 blocks for my scrappy log cabin lap quilt. I may put a border on to make it a little larger, but maybe not. I really like the look of it as is. I think maybe a bright red binding. I checked, and there is a little piece of fabric from all 50 of the quilt projects I have made. The only exceptions are two Christmas tree skirts that I made. The fabric was very Christmassy and had metallic gold in it. I'm saving those for Christmas log cabins. (I still have a lot of strips left.)...See MoreScrappy Random Rail Fence
Comments (11)Sharon, I'm doing something similar with my scraps except I'm starting with a square and going around and around it log-cabin style with varying widths until I get out to a 15 and a half inch square. I'm doing each square in a color family (all reds, all yellows, etc.). And I'm wondering if I should sash each with some neutral strip-piecing. The only problem is I'm only coming up with 6 color families - red, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple and that doesn't make a very big project, got to figure this one out. I could make one more block of each color I guess. This is one of those "evolving" projects, who knows where it will wind up. I wanted it to be all one-of-a-kind strips and I'm getting to the point where I might have to duplicate unless I start cutting into my bigger yardage stash. Think I should??...See MoreScrappy Four-Patch Chain Blocks
Comments (20)Here it is assembled. It's 40x48, a good size for a kid's quilt. I don't know what binding and backing I will use yet. I've got eight quilt tops in line to finish before this one....See MoreScrappy log cabin variety top is finished.
Comments (14)I'm currently binding a lotto winnings quilt that had its origins in a 2012 lotto. It will soon be finished. I also have to quilt and bind a wedding quilt. I have the pieces for three quilts cut that I was going to take to Palm Desert with me to work on over the winter. Now, we have postponed our trip because of Covid for at least a month, maybe more, so I might start working on them....See More
