What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

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?

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.

Ooops … this was meant to be scheduled for yesterday, not today! My only excuse is that I am retired, and every day is Sunday … especially when I am trying to schedule two or three days ahead of ...

Who said Baby Blocks were just for kids? I think grownups can have fun with them too!

I don’t think a two year old would build the design above, though that could appear when they throw a tantrum … and pile the baby blocks onto the floor!

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.

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.
