Purple Logs 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting design, pretty colours.

Are those crowns in the corners in the design above? Or birds without heads?

Another interesting one.

The one above is a slight alteration of the one above it! Less interesting, but I like it more.

The last design for this week’s mid week retreat (or coffee break) looks like an exploding star. It would be interesting to make with fading blocks around the centre star.

That is all for this week, but there will be another mid week Log Cabin retreat next week.

Purple Logs 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 from Virtual Quilter

When I get old I will wear purple … or design purple quilts.

I am wearing some purple clothing as a warning for family and friends of what will happen when I get older than I am now!

The first four Log Cabin designs this week are very similar … minor changes in the centre of the quilt.

I checked teh designs as I selected them in the project file to make sure they were different, but have just double checked because I thought I had missed a repeat! Perhaps i am older than I think I am!

Just did another check ...

First design in a new series is very interesting .

I like the second design too.

Notice that the blocks with half dark and half light strips around them start with darks strips added to the centre square first. I am using blocks started with the light colour first as well as starting with dark, but the design above has all blocks starting by adding dark to the centre first.

Lots of floating dark triangles are now possible.

Floating dark squares too! Small differences, but fun to play with.

More Log cabin designs mid week, next week.
