What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Middle of what is becoming a crazy week with appointments, visitors, surprise visitors, and who knows what else will crop up!

The second design is the same as the first, but with the colours reversed. Makes a big difference!

Once again there is the darker version …

… and the lighter version. I like the darker versions, but it could be a way to use up the fabrics you have on hand.

The last design for this week is the darker version, but the next time I use this project file I will share the light version.

That is all for this ...

The first design could be made as just a Log Cabin quilt, but with a lot of washed out colours in the light part of the Courthouse Steps blocks and a lot of all light blocks it makes a great background for some applique.

The second design would work with plain background applique blocks surrounded by all dark Log Cabin blocks.

I love the design above … most of the Log blocks are Courthouse Steps, with four Curved Logs in the corners.

Looks like a secret garden hidden behind some shrubs.

In the last one the garden is not so hidden ...

A bit different to the average Log Cabin Quilt!

I like the one above … once again, very different!

Middle one for this week, and it is about the most ordinary of the five.

I have just had an idea … what if I the Drunkards Path template was enlarged and pieced along with some plain squares, and arranged in some of these designs? Perhaps it could be a great way to use large floral fabrics.

Finishing this week’s collection of Log Cabin designs is one more very different arrangement.

That is all for this week, more Log Cabin designs to ...

In a couple of the gardens I have had there were a few logs laying around marking borders of the flower beds, so I thought i should try some virtual fabric logs amongst my Log Cabin quilt designs.

Perhaps this is the layout for a garden which goes all around the house.

Plying with shades of green, and the dark is a shady part, the light the lawn in the sun, and the rest is flower beds. Needs more colour perhaps, but it is a plan.

Now there are some shady parts all around the house.

The centre four blocks ...

Sometimes it feels like it was only yesterday that I posted last week’s mid week retreat post, and this is one of those weeks! Busy week both at home and socially, and sometimes just busy relaxing! I think I will make another coffee and relax while I write this post, but maybe it might be better to just concentrate on what I am doing.

The first two designs using Cornerstones Log Cabin variations are both interesting, and I like both.

Love the one above.

Some changes but very similar, but I prefer the one before this one.

More changes ...
