What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Interesting design to start with, though my Mid Week Quilter’s Log Cabin Retreat is a day late. I am not too sure if my calendar or the clock is misleading me … got to be one of them!

The second design is exactly the same as the first, but with the colours reversed.

I am not too interested in the design above, but what if I reverse the colours again.

I love the change!

You will have to wait until I next open this project file to see what happens with the last design for today when the colours are ...

A few all dark, or all red, blocks, the rest are standard Log Cabin blocks, and are all made using the standard pieced Log Cabin construction methods.

The second design has some all light, or white, Log Cabin blocks, and a totally different arrangement of the blocks.

The third one has quite a few all light/white, there are four dark/red blocks, and 40 light/dark combination blocks to create another totally different Log Cabin Quilt design.

The design above are all identical pieced Log Cabin blocks, but they have been twisted and turned to create something totally different ...

Interesting … how many stars are there mixed up there?

Same design, different colouring, and the dark star has lost a lot of impact!

I can spend half an hour changing blocks within this layout, and like them all enough to save them, and get cross when I change one before I hit the save button!

Love the design above, though I haven’t used a colour scheme I would ever live with.

I might have to try some prettier colours in my Log Cabin designs, then i might be tempted to make some of them!

The one in the top ...

Middle of yet another week so time for a collection of Log Cabin designs, so if possible, retreat from whatever the world is handing you for a few minutes.

I like the first design, but the colours in the second look happy … due to the yellow I guess.

Subtitle for the above could be Ring-a-ring a Posy … or should that be Ring-a-ring a diamond.

All these designs feature stars, but I like the extra star in the centre of the one above.

The last one has a star within a star.

More Log Cabin designs mid week, next week.

I should have visited this project file about a month ago! Let’s hope I don’t need to update it too often!

This project has an almost unlimited supply of Log Cabin blocks which have only one thing in common … they are squares constructed with a a few squares and plenty of strips!

I wonder how many designs are possible with so many block variations? I think I would eliminate those with blocks placed randomly to limit the number to one which would fit written down around a football oval in small numerals.

I like the one above.

However ...

Time for a short break to celebrate the middle of the week.

I would like the one above even without the applique.

Most of the appliques in this series are placed on individual blocks, but sometimes I have let the design expand over several blocks by setting them on Layer 2.

Changing the scale of parts of a design is a great way to add interest to designs.

More Log Cabin designs next week tomorrow … I got over enthusiastic and saved another four designs after being distracted by a visitor and before I had started to schedule this post!
