What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Mid week again. I guess it happens a couple of days after Monday, and for me it is one way of keeping track of what day of the week it is, as they all feel a bit like Sunday in retirement.

Love the cross, not so impressed with the squares on each side, but sometime in the distant future I will show the new variation.

The one above is interesting, and it could be interesting to reverse the light and dark.

Love the one above … and an idea to replace those squares in the first design,

The last design for ...

A log cabin hideaway would be a nice place to be when the temperature goes up to 35 plus. I guess I will have to enjoy the air conditioner in town..

First two designs are interesting.

I am always amazed at how many designs can be found to use Log Cabin blocks.

This project file has over 250 designs, and it grows a little bit every time I open it, helped by the 50 plus variations of the Log Cabin block, including Thick and Thin varieties.

I love the gentle curves in the last design for today.

More Log Cabin ...

A very interesting design for any time of the year, in any colours too.

A nice neat and tidy design.

Same design, with a little bit of extra colour.

With only three logs on each side of these designs they still have a lot of impact.

The last design for this week, and I like the addition of the little bit of red, but I still forgot to turn one block ninety degrees!

More Log Cabin designs, mid week, next week.

Interesting Log Cabin quilt design, mostly Curved Log Cabin.

The second design is more interesting!

Love the third design!

And the fourth! Nothing boring about today’s logs.

Log Cabin blocks are easy to cut and construct, and their is no limit to the design possibilities.

That is all for this week’s Log Cabin retreat, but there will be more next week.

I should have checked the colours of the leaves on a couple of the trees in my yard before I chose the colours of the leaves in the design above!

A bit more colourful. I only have two trees which add colour to the autumn garden apart from fruit trees, and most of the trees in my area are evergreen, and drop leaves all year round.

Love the effect of the Courthouse Steps around the outside of the design above.

A few blocks without applique could be a time saver, but also add to a quilt design.

A very interesting ...

Very interesting!

I have turned eight blocks around, and not anywhere near as interesting.

Not too sure that I like the design above, but it might appeal to some people.

Like the one above … not too fussy, almost simple, but very appealing.

Five interesting Log Cabin designs this week!

I think my favourite is the first one, but love that they are all not quite the average layout for a Log Cabin quilt.

That is all for this week’s Log Cabin retreat … more designs next week, mid week.

Interesting.

Not the sort of thing I normally share on a Thursday, but that is what happens I don’t finish the first coffee on a Wednesday morning … this week’s mid week retreat got misplaced!

The second one is also interesting … this is what happens if you want to make a Curved Log Cabin quilt in the barn raising layout, but make it a bit different because you have some Courthouse Steps blocks you want to use up.

Now i have a Barnraising Curved Log Cabin with four Courthouse Steps blocks.

I am starting to like what is happening ...

This week’s Log Cabin project file has a collection of different Log Cabin blocks, and the design above is mostly Chimney’s and Cornerstones with and without curves. I like the first design!

Still lots of Chimneys and Cornerstones in the second, but a bit more variety in the Log Cabin variations.

All the ones above have two variations of Courthouse Steps.

Love the one above … my favourite for today!

An interesting design to finish off today.

More Log Cabin designs mid week, next week.

I decided to try some Log Cabin quilt designs in shades of pink because I have rarely seen pink Log Cabin quilts … or pink logs to build real cabins either.

Pink is not my favourite colour, but it always looks pretty and feminine.

In the three designs so far the small changes are making small improvements to the designs.

I am liking the designs more with each change so far.

The last design for today has a big change, and I like it a lot.

That is all for this week … more Log Cabin quilt designs next week, mid week.

May your bobbins always be full,

Interesting. Also neat and tidy.

Very interesting.

I have had my mid week retreat. I selected these designs from the project file and had a good look at them during a coffee break. Hope you can do the same.

I like the outer row of blocks … looks like a very solid fence line to me.

My favourite for the day is above!

I have to admit that selecting Log Cabin designs is usually just selecting a project file, and using the next five designs … today I had a coffee break after that part and just studied the selected designs before ...
