Playing with Baby Blocks 17, 18 from Virtual Quilter

Playtime! Instead of building stacks of blocks I have used Baby Blocks as a quilt layout, and added some applique designs.

It would be interesting with real wooden blocks with applique designs on all six sides … how many ways could the six designs be arranged in a stack of bricks?

Log Cabin Baby Blocks 76, 77, 78, 79, 80 from Virtual Quilter

I like the first design of this week’s Log Cabin retreat!

Not too sure about that dark background colour, but love the windmill in the centre.

Interesting.

Prefer the one above this one … too much dark in the centre.

I do like the last one … well, the last Log Cabin design for this week.

More Log Cabin designs next week, mid week.

Log Cabin Baby Blocks 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 from Virtual Quilter

The Log Cabin designs this week are good candidates for foundation piecing, though I don’t think you would need a foundation for the solid blocks around the edge of the first one.

The second one has a few set in corners, some involving triangular Log Cabins.

I think all of these are interesting designs even if they are not as simple to put together as square and rectangular Log Cabin blocks.

The one above is my favorite in this weeks collection.

More Log Cabin designs mid week, next week.

Playing with Baby Blocks 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

Not the normal sort of design on these baby blocks, they are more for grown ups. Wouldn’t it be fun to have some blocks on a shelf for us to play with … we could spend a few minutes several times a day rearranging them.

I love this second one!

I love that Electric Quilt distorts the block designs to fit the shape of the hexagons.
